I intend to fit a manual steering rack to my rally ,and experiment with fitting a Vauxhall Corsa "A" or "B" steering column,which has an electric motor driving it.
This is used as a common conversion on the Ford Escort Mk.II rally cars to give a variable amount of response ....using a rheostat,to control the speed of return on the rack.
The idea being to do away completely with the power steering rack,albeit it uses a Citroen Saxo electric power steering pump,but still retain easy steering.

Question:- Which Clio model manual rack are available that will fit the Williams,without to much hassle.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Rod, I have a 1.2 manual rack on my 1.8 16v shell and that's perfect, it's the track rod ends I'd say that will give the trouble to get the extra track, I will be breaking that car in the next few weeks if you want that rack and steering column which has been welded.

Can you Use the arms from the Williams rack to get the extra length?
