manual steering rack ratio?

[16v_paddy]

It's a manaul rack thats been converted to a quick rack by a now defunct engineering company a long time ago. It's the only one i know of so i'm pretty pleased to have it.

Would they be TAS? There kits with 2.5turns lock to lock.

Winston has one of their old quick racks for sale when he broke the 5 he was builiding.

I also have one, i've rebuilt mine 3 or 4 times this year in an attempt to removed the play in it, its helped a bit but the quality of the TAS kits was never great to begin with.

A few other 5 owners I know have also stripped and rebuilt the TAS quick raks for the same reason, with near enough the same results..

IIRC that's where Beanie got it from

And what ratio are these ?

alex_e3 you make a very good point.

There is alot of confusion on this issue. Someone whos running the conversion should clear this up.

This is correct

Std. Williams PAS rack: 2,75 turns lock-lock
Std. Valver PAS rack: 2,75 turns lock-lock
A random Clio non PAS rack: 3,75 turns lock-lock

But you could fit a quickrack designed for a renault 5 to take it down to 2.5 turns lock to lock, going from the above posts??

What ratio are the K-tec racks ? and whwer can you get the kit for 2.5 ratio from as TAS dont exist anymore.

Ive got a spare r5 steering rack,i must check it out an see what the lock is!

TAS are long gone now, the only option that I can see would be to hunt down a TAS converted rack, they are out there I know of 4 or 5 people with them.

Or get something custom made, I think that was looked into recently though with Quaife wasn't it? Although I don't think it had much success.

i got onto k-tec to see if they know what ratio those R5 racks are. hope to hear back soon.
