We think alike. I haven't investigated it properly yet, but at a glance
would say that the bluebird lower control arm pivot points and ball joints
would have a wider spacing than the 1600. Thus track would be a bit wider.
This would mean some costly rack shortening if you were going to just
install the rack on the 1600 crossmember. As you would need to match the
steering and control arm pivot points. Unless of course the whole Bluebird
rack and crossmember could be installed in a 1600 (add some flared guards).
Where is that tape measure!

Subject: Rack and peanut steering
Fellas,
Has anyone ever attempt to convert the datto to rack and peanut (pinion :O)
) steering. I have herd this is a more repsonsive form of steering. I have
a bluebird wreck in the front of my house and am kinda sizing up the rack
out of that. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wojee :O)
