steering rack solid mounts

[applepie]

I changed out to solid mounts in 2001 when my GT6 failed its French MOT. All the talk of different rack heights and use of jubilee clips worried me somewhat so I went and looked in my old parts box ( I never throw anything away ) and compared the old mounts with the solid ones on the car - the height is identical. I checked to see if the rack had moved - Nope. If it hasn't moved in 17 years, I doubt it will move now. I'll probably put a clip in for security just in case.

I don't worry about movenment, I use a clip or cable tie to keep the anti-rattle button in place. Not that I am convinced it does a lot anyway

Hi all, several people have mentioned the anti rattle button !, what is it and where is it, Paul

[Clive]

it sits under the passenger side rubber rack mount, literally a small bit of nylon/plastic. It is kept in place my the rubber mount, and presses against the inside rack (ie the bit inside the racktube)
If yusing solid mounts, this button is exposed. MAny people just leave it out, or may not even be there... so using a cable tie or jubilee clip keeps it in place.

My GT6 has probably done 20k miles without the anti rattle button, just insulation tape over the hole.

Solid rack kit of a very old age fitted, no issues, seems fine to me.
