Default and the rack

Set the rack up to just miss the mandrel for the dry sump, slotted the mounts for Ackermann adjustment from zero Ackermann to whatever I measure at full lock once the suspension is all in. Don't need much, 1/16" is a ton and I think there is enough adjustment there to get me from 0 to 1/16". The center take off (CTO) rack is nice because I can offset it and just make sure to build in the offset when I extend the tie rod bar. You can see the pinion box and I have some round bar hanging off to make sure I can clear the headers without a lot of angle.

I trimmed down the way-too-short one this S10 had and will extend out with round bar to the exact width I want. Finally, the last shot shows the tie rod is up near the upper A arm pivot, so I can get a good approximation for tie rod pivot axis based on the upper pivot axis to minimize bump steer.
