Crank trigger wheel machined (bought & counter bored), 16V pulley / Damper machined (drilled & tapped on the bolt circle of the trigger wheel)
Sensor aligned and adjusted at 1mm from teeth of trigger wheel.
Hopefully, this set up, with beefing up all components, will pass the test of time!

The steering rack, even though I rebuilt the thing in 2010, had some loose on the nylon bushing that must have been helped by having 225 R compounds...
So took out the old rack, and machined a new larger contact area bushing out of Nylatron.
The stock bushing is held in the rack with a groove, but I decided to secure it with fasteners.
I needed to take out the rear transmission mount, to access the steering rack bolts, and to my surprise, the poly mount is totally destroyed!
I will also use Mk2 manual steering tie-rods, as they are just a bit longer, and will permit of having more threads in the heim joints, and on the steering rack.
I have also machined my outer tie-rod spacers, to eliminate bump steer.
Nice job!
