The alloy rack mounts do not butt up to the flanges on the rack. It is
a case of centralising the rack and tightening up the mounts. One
point to note is that there is a small hole in the rack casing
(passenger side)where a nylon bush fits that stops the rack rattling.
This is held in place by the rubber rack mounts, and will not be held
in place by the alloy rack mounts. To stop dirt getting into the rack,
cover the hole with some tape wrapped around the rack tube. Also get
the inclination of the rack with regards to the steering column
correct so as not to stress the column flexible joint too much.
IMHO I prefer the polyurethene replacements for the rack and indeed
all rubber bushes on the car as it gives the longetivity of solid
mounts with the flexibility of rubber mounts.
