Gents,
Is there a front mounted rack conversion for the HR front end that works properly?

The CRS conversion works well, with the exception of abysmal turning circle.

Cheers,
Harv

These days Phil if I wanted to go r&p I would sell the HR disc front and get a fabricated front end. The HR disc fronts complete are going for $1k which goes a fair way toward fabricated front.

My 2c worth mate...

TE-TF Cortina rack is front mounted , has good turning circle, bump steer and ackerman. You need to do it all yourself though , the bloke who does the conversions is ridiculously slow. Theres pics of mine in the "red rattler rebuild" thread.

Thanks for the info!... Is the Cortina rack unmodfied?

rack is unmodified , you need to use short HQ steering arms, early Commodore tie rod ends and will need to have the steering arms rereamed the opposite way . also need to modify the crossmember to accept the head of the rack - and a power rack will fit as well if you can find one.

Does anyone have a TE TF Cortina rack at hand for some measurements?...I'd like to compare pivot points etc to a LH LX Torana rack.

I can measure mine- leave it with me

Gee Greg, those barn-find taillights were selling for $400 each before the Nats. They are rare, and Holden doesn't make them anymore. Your shed must be worth a fortune, like mine
