      Tuff mounts kits are good but headers have to be 'massaged' and everything is super tight.
      What's your plan?

      The original car was designed in Germany from the VB to the VT they were sold as Vauxhalls and opels in the UK and Germany. Holden Australia just changed front and rear, interior and engine.

    Great video boys! Wondering what you did with the rack without power steering, can you run a ps rack without fluid or is it a manual rack??

    • @elheffeschopshop
      @elheffeschopshop  5 днів тому +1

      This one is a capped ps rack, unsure if it is ideal, but seems to work mint

    • @bencampbell1675
      @bencampbell1675 5 днів тому

      @elheffeschopshop fair enough. Is it hard to steer or is it not too bad?

      Rotas in heavy cars dont really shine too good. Ask Moff when he used to punt that Rx around the Mountain back in the 80s. Th Rx weight penalty was the death of that thing. In light chassis applications they work oretty good thou.
