Hey fella's,

yea the guy that sold me the steering rack is some kind of bedofrd loving guru, seriously the nicest most knowledgable bedford guy i've ever met. I got lucky cause he went to a swap meet and wanted $500 bucks for the rack and no one bought it and I didn't have the coin when I first talked to him before he went to this swap meet to buy it. He said someone offered him $200 bucks at the meet but he told em $300 was his limit so I just offered him $300 bucks when i Picked up my diff. He told me it usually costs about $1,200 for the rack mounts to be converted to fit the bedford, considering he's been real honest so far I think that must be true? 

I don't have any pics right now but i'll take some and post them up. The rack has been converted to bolt straight into a bedford and there is a sticker on it with the company that modified it and the part number they gave it, it's half scratched off but i'll take a pic and you might be able to make sense of it. A few of the copper/steel pipes are a little bent up, i'm just gonna go to a brake place and have them make some new ones.

I'll check the diff and let you know the ratio. I don't mind telling you how much i paid, i had to pay the asking price of $950, considering I got it with two new tyres and the seller turned out to be a practising member of one of the fueding bikie clubs of recent times I was pretty happy to walk away with the deal and no bruises, I started to bargain and he got pretty short and so I pulled my cash out cause I figured I was getting a good deal. It was sold through a legitamately trading company and I got a receipt so I know (or hope) it was the genuine article.

Thanks for your reply's, i'll get some pics on.

Jordan.
