Awsome! Thanks. By the way. If you need bearings let me know I have this place here in Austin TX. that can get just about any type of bearing. Once I have my rack apart I will let you know which ones are available and how much they are.

What substance or product would you recomend for removing all the old grease from the rack?

i pushed a rag thru the housing with a long wooden dowel rod and soaked the rag with penetrating oil a little first...... the rest of the parts i physically wiped all the old grease off.

Mat could you draw a simple diagram of how the studs from your steering stop mod interact with the foam bump stops? Kind of like a side cut away of what is going on inside.

I used stainless steel washers, they were bonded to the stops with glue. The washers are 28mm with a 6mm hole. The studs were filed to have a nipple that turns in the washer, nothing special.
Green is weld. Jamb nut not shown.
