[QUOTE="StefansBus, post: 607320, member: 22908"] Hi Matt, Thanks for this. Yes, I had indeed seen this T1 conversion on the SSVC forum. It's certainly interesting but unfortunately not a blueprint for a T2 conversion. Yes, it utilizes the same Astra rack and the same T25 bevel/relay box but the mounting points are so different on both vehicles that the T1 solution doesn't work on a T2. Also, the T1's stock steering gear box sits very low (under the frame) but the early bay one sits up in the frame which is were I would want the T25 relay box to sit but that's proving difficult. Also, the front beams are different so the exact location of the rack will be different. I would want it to sit between the two tubes of the bam, not underneath, if possible. So any pointer still very much appreciated. Cheers Stefan [/QUOTE]
