steering rack mount

["BOLIN, TIMOTHY" <TBOLIN@scana.com>]

the right steering rack mount on my 65 midget had a metal plate
sandwiched between the frt side of the crossmember and the mount itself.
the thickness is about 3/16". the left side had no seat as it is refered
to the the bently manual, and the left rack boot seemed to be rubbing
against the upper spring seat.  has anyone noticed these seats or
spacers during their rebuilds and /or should i make up these seatsfor
the left side.  i will take in consideration the alignment of the
steering column and the pinnion i doing so.

thanks and best wishes to all
