identify this rack

Wonder when Ford started fitting racks on similar sized cars? BMC, of course, had used racks on at least some medium sized cars since WW2.

Talking of which, what would people say if Paul Dirac fell on Jayne Mansfield? They'd say 'look at Dirac on that Jayne Mansfield.' Oh yes they would. Well, if they were physicists they would anyway.

Personally I'd run like hell for a shotgun, that seemed to w ork in Night of the Living Dead :-)

I believe it is a chevette rack, but I can't see a manual to doublecheck.

The message from "mrcheerful ." contains these words:

Doesn't look like the one in my Haynes BoL for the Chuvvit. The pic I've got shows a locknut for the support yoke, not a bolt-on plate, the end cover is just a metal cap, not a bolt on plate, and there are other differences too.

Of course - might be a different model...looks /more/ like the CamGears Chuvit rack - but still not quite right.

Thought that was gonna be something rude when I read the subject :)

doublecheck.

The drg doesn't look quite right to me. It appears that item 20. The end cover has a hole in it. Can't be for the steering column, as the spline for that, is at the other end of the pinion. If that is the case, item 20 should be a blank plate. Mike.

Its a LHD Morris 1800 Land Crab Rack which has been turned upside down.

I like to please

If you turn a rack upside down the car will go left when you steer right !! That could be exciting.

mrcheerful

Depends whether the rack is in front of or behind the front wheels!

The message from "mrcheerful ." contains these words:

Not if the steering arms are in front of the pivot instead of behind!

of course!, you're right, provided the location changed it would work correctly. I never thought of that possibility.

Hehe "Nice Rack Basil"

Sunbeam/Avenger ??

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember " dojj" saying something like:

Afair, the SE5a rack was, as has been mentioned, a BL 1800 LHD one.

I've just had a look in the Alterparts book, but no mention of it; try asking on the yahoo group for Scims...
