    Default VP rack into Vk issue

    Putting VP k-frame into Vk including VP rack, how do you connect the rack up? i have a VL p/s intermediate shaft but the rack end is splined and the VP end is square, anyone know how you get around this problem? Or im i off to the engineers to get a custom end made.

    Thanks

    You need to fit the VN rack it is splined.

    Photo shows VB column, Vl intermediate shaft, VN rack and fitted to VR K-frame.

    Obviously the VP and VN racks differ.

    I just put a VP K frame into my VH and used the VL intermediate shaft. I used a VN steering rack cos of the same problem youre having. They changed from splined to square connections sometime mid VP. So you will need a VN rack or you might also be able to find a VP with the spline too. The VP I got the Kframe from had a square one.
