Re: Important Update Re: No steering parts, rack & pinion, cables, from Amel
I realize that I was probably too conservative when I stated that "the steering rack normally lasts 20+ years." I think with very few exceptions, the rack has lasted closer to 30 years, than 20 years.

Hi Tom,
I had new mounting discs made from 3/4” delrin by a machinist. They were about $125 US each plus material. I had to buy a 1 ft square of 3/4” delrin.
