Re: please explain power steering components

here is the other pic that didn't seem to wanna load. I know, no ujoints in the pic. I did have it slipped over the rack input though. I used a larger diameter piece of tubing just to be sure I would have clearance on everything. the frame plates for the engine both bolt onto the front face of the frame mounts so, if wanted, they could be left on the engine and the whole thing brought forward, up and out as an assembly.
as a side bar, the rack could be rotated slightly with a wedge shaped mount in order to line up the steering shaft better or match ujoint angles. just be sure to keep the tie rods lined up in the same plane as they were so the steering geometry doesn't change. in other words, rotate the rack around the tie rod positioning instead of just rotating it haphazardly.
just some stuff to think about anyway. more than one way to get'er done.
