Hey John, have a look in my gallery ( page 6 ) i think, i have pics of my rack there and the simple mounting bracket we made up. I also upgraded the tie rod ends, i had some beefier ones machined up. The bracket was 10mm x 60mm flat bar from memory.

sadly no, we did all the checks while it was in the air, but yep until it is on the road we cant do any fine tuning.
