you machined a step into the ends yes? if so I have been thinking of doing this
These are the new Jonny Rochester rack ends.
Extra rack movement either side, for massive steering lock, while perfectly maintaining factory steering geometry. This eliminates slight bump steer that other extra-lock devices may cause.

Yes I did. And obviously I think it's the best extra-lock method. I want to keep the total steering rod length long, not shorter. But if people thought I got these fully made at some factory, then I could sell them and make money!
I agree I do think its the best option, I didn't look more into this because at the time I didnt have access to a proper lathe. I think I will look into this though because it will let me chose exactly how much I want.
I think you should buy a pile of these brand new, machine them up and sell them. People dont care if you bought them from a shop and just threw them in your lathe, they just want it to work, I say go for it

nice work jonny..
fairly sure mark has done something similar in his red 4ag street car..
The hoon laws were written for Mark and his extra lock. Sunderland St. doesn't even have many corners.
Love the build. Awesome rack ends
