Is the rack it self actually lengthened? Or just the rods?

Shane if you look closely you can see the extender/converter - it has a male thead on one end and a female on the other.

Male end goes into the bedford tie rod end, and the femal end goes onto the rack.

so I would say that NO the wrack has not been lengthend.

I used to be vague..................Now I'm not so sure

If the rack hasn't been lengthened she gonna suffer chronic bump steer .I fitted up a VY rack to my f/end and had to lengthen it by some 70 odd mm and off set it to the right to get the turn circle central i would think a VN rack would be similar in length                       Cheers Neil

Warren is right, the main rack is standard, and sorry guys no bump steer, it works just fine, as I said before the Transit is a good swap but this works just as well, I guess not knowing much about this kind of set up but would think the transfer / bevel box has a lot to do with the out come, but on full lock there is about a inch before the wheel hits, so I guess the lock is as good as your are going to get.  Also look where the rack is mounted, its out in the front not close to the beam, the tierods also go up not down as standard, with the rack mounted so far foward it must help.
