Seem to be get mixed responses about willy/lower model racks on here, with people insisting they're different and some saying they are the same.

afaik, you can use a valver rack but ive heard you have to wind the track rod ends out more as the track arms are shorter... but then apparently willy/normal rack are both the same part no so... :S

iirc the rack is the same but the track rods are different due to the exra track of the willy, even so i dont think its a problem using valver parts as the track rod ends can be wound out

I have a 1.8 rack with williams track and its fine, you just wind the track rod ends out as you said.
