You should post some photos of the set up Steve, I would be pretty interested in how they did it back then. The only other power steer system I have seen pre 60 was where a fella modified a Compact Fairlane pillar ram setup. Worked well for low speed but no good at road speeds.
Hi John, as soon as I can will start a thread. The car will be at the Nationals.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this EK Proto Prem, I always thought that when Holden had the first auto in the EK, why not make a
smansy prem to go with it.

why not just mount the rack in the right position then you will only have approx 10 mm bump steer overall (which is about 1/2 of original

Second pic shows lining up rack ends with bottom pivot point.
I couldn't see how you can do this just by positioning the rack alone?
Then you mount the rack at the right height and you end up with about 1mm in bump.
Cheers.
