R&P w/1.5" crossmember drop ?'s
I have been trying to get my rack set up in my 84 swb with an 1.5" crossmember drop. I didn't have enough room for the rack between the ART control arms and the stock balancer, so I installed a 6 1/4" balancer. I now have plenty of clearance for the rack, but the mounting points fall above both inside lower control arm inner u bolt nuts. The steering shaft also looks like it is going to hit the driver's side motor mount. The rack is a thunderbird rack, but I don't remember the year. Seams like it was a 93 or 97. There is 15 7/16" center to center on the mounting ears. I am going to have to buy another rack and was wondering if any of you might know of a rack that would work better, as far as mounting points and steering mounting angle? I may end up having to get a rack built by unisteer. If I do that, I was thinking of going with a right hand drive rack. The only thing stopping me on the RHD rack, is the clutch & brakes. I was planing on running a kuegel under dash unit to shave the firewall completely smooth, but wouldn't be able to with RHD and power brakes. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
