Well spotted Dunc

The spindles and brake assemblies are XJ6 jag as actually recomended by you in an earlier post.
As you probably know the the steering rack and hence arms are rear mounted and as we have dialed in a lot of castor angle so when you push the car backwards the wheels go all boss-eyed and make it near impossible to move the car.
So the bar is a temporary link tieing the jag steering arms together allowing us to keep the wheels in line when moving the car about it will obviusly be removed when I fit the new arms.

Great day at the salt mine today steering is in and sorted, just a couple of steering column brackets to fabricate and will have completed the steering and suspension modification the rest is pretty straightfortward after this.
the pictures show the new steering arms and the rack and pinion steering rods connected.
The first picture is a guess the arse competition
