WARNING: Fat Man Fabrication strut conversion EARLY MUSTANG
I really hate it when "kits" you pay good money for are poorly planned and don't do what they are supposed to do. I take it the moving the wheels inboard is a combined 2" total and not 2" per side = 4" total? You know most of these Rack & Pinion Kits are simply knowing which and who's parts from the endless automotive aftermarket to throw in the box -- they rarely make much other then small adaptors etc that go into their "kits".
Re: ..."and the next project, which was to put the steering rack and lower control arm mount up into position. This one is always a pain on this car, and let me warn anybody who is thinking about a Fat Man Fabrication strut conversion setup for an early Mustang that it is not a good kit, doesn't fit well, moves the wheels inboard 2" without telling you, etc. etc. There are two big 1/2" through bolts that go through the rack and lower control arm mount, and also go through the original Ford lower control arm mounts on the car. As you install the bolts you need to put three spacers on each side in place, and there's not a lot of room to work, so you end up doing this kind of blind. And of course you have to assemble the steering linkage while you are doing this. Another three hours of horsing around and I finally got this stuff all finished up."
