steering rack

[Bruce2]

His car was featured in the Sept 2001 of hotVWs. Its the car on the cover.
I don't know too much about it since he sold the car soon after that. I do remember that he first cut a trough in the tunnel/frame head for the rack to sit down in. Then when he got the car all together he realised it was way too low and that he didn't need to cut the frame head at all.
He pretty well had to go with a rack since his beam was narrowed 7". This would have made the stock left tie rod super short, causing horrible bump steer. Plus when you narrow a beam that much, there is nowhere to put the steering box.
