    Default rack bushings for Euroswift SE1 rack?

    So as we slowly whip the now-DSR Euroswift into shape, we have some lingering radial slop in the rack bushings for the (presumably original) steering rack that's in the car. Thanks to the slop, I have lingering play that is still allowing some dartiness on braking, it'd seem. Seems also like it may be allowing my rod ends to get chewed up repeatedly.

    So does anyone know of a source for replacement bushings for this rack? I could see about having my teammate whip some up in the lathe, but if something's readily available, that's a waste of time.

    Don't really have any good pics of the rack, I'm afraid... but can take some if necessary.

    Alternatively, we live with it for another weekend or two, then pitch the whole thing over the winter and upgrade to a lighter aluminum rack... if we can find a decent deal on such??

    Open to suggestions...

    Default rack bushings

    I just finished Sam's Van-D steering rack, I can re-bush (and straighten to some degree if needed) yours.
    You know my location.

    Great! Will get in touch - though, as mentioned, we ought to talk about upgrade options too, that thing's a 7# boat anchor over my feet...
