With your CRS front rack are you using the kit supplied, bent HR steering arms or the shorter HQ power steering arms................. just interested to know?

I'm going to put a 9" cutting disc through the lot and using either a LH front ala Gaz or using a HR front and Cortina power rack.
:roll: Uhhhhhhhhh................ I get a feeling you're not happy with it!! :wink: :wink: :wink:

Ive had a couple of early Holdens with CRS rack conversions.

Im not a fan either.

A buddy has an earlygirl fitted with a Rods Racks conversion,Ive driven it

from Brisbane to Sydney and it was great.Id consider one for myself in

the future.

Great pics Blacky, you're almost done... only problem is that first pic - you are supposed to use a chick in a bikini to show off a car, not some homeless dude...

That's looking great Blacky! 8) 8) Love the headers! I've always wanted to go twin carbs ..but it's the linkages that seem to be a real hassle! :x
I fit a pair up to my wagon years ago but could never get 'em to run right 'till it got to the stage I pulled 'em off and went back to a single (boring) one. :oops: :roll: :lol:
