The patient awaits surgery. You can see part of the block & tackle setup holding my bonnet upright.

nice view
|
Passenger side of the steering rack.
|
Driver's side of the steering rack. This is the side with the broken mount.
|
Lotta bugs in the teeth there.
|
a shot of my alternator wiring so I remember to put it back correctly!
|
The big empty spot where the rack was. The new mounts are in place.
We only had to remove the radiator fan, not the whole radiator thankfully.
|
Another view.
|
The rack, off the car and on the bench.
|
There is a bit of free play on the passenger side. Oh well... off to Terry's for a rebuild.
|
Getting ready to put the rack back in. It was shipped from Terry's Jaguar in the big cardboard box in the lower left.
|
Nice rack! On the work bench. I had noted the dimensions of the rack and tie rod ends before shipping it off to Illinois for the rebuild. Here I put the tie rod ends back on as close to where they were before.
|
The new mounts. That short bolt in the middle of the frontmost mount is the one that gave me the most trouble once the rack went in.
|
The rack back in the car. Not all the way bolted on yet though.
|
Rack in, radiator fan back on, alternator on, wheels on... getting ready to put the bonnet back on.
