What I was thinking if you used the outlander transfer case, you could ditch the spacers and have the tail shaft pass over the steering rack.

You're probably right...the things to consider are the length of the rack and the turns ratio as well as the pump connections and the column connection...as well as drive ratio?

(that's a mouthful...

)

Don't suppose you've got one laying around that you can spare for a few minutes?

With my raised setup the posts are only an adjustable jig for fabricating triangular plates to weld to the K-frame, then a hoop over to firm it up.
I am also suggesting to reverse the tie rod ends and custom fabricate additional length in them to even things up a bit.

BTW those special bolts were 20 dollars each.....

I wish I could help you out with the transfer case. I don't know how far you've gotten with your AWD project, just throwing it out there as a suggestion. Have to keep in mind ratios between the transfer case and the rear diff. I'd be worried about the output of the outlander transfer case hitting the firewall..

Just throwing it out there anyway. Might save you some effort - or create more headache for you. You see to have some connections, you might be able to borrow a case from a wreckers or something.

Nothing's cheap when it comes to doing one off things for cars. The mivec valve housing cost me $700 to have machined and sleved, just to slot the distributor onto. Interesting thing is your "friend" on the other forums apparently has a manual AWD up and going. That's the next avenue I intend to go up pending reliability and more importantly pictures.

Yeah...anyone can get a manual AWD Magna put together.

I know all about one offs too...the LSD was a much bigger project than we all thought it would be.....4500 dollars inc the Quaife.

hey...I appreciate your suggestions mate.

How is the AWD project progressing?
Is this the way to tame the turbo tyre shredding qualities?

It's on the back burner sizzling away.....

Other projects need completion first...

Been a while since we've heard any update on this?
Have you managed to go any further with this build, or is it still waiting for another day?

I have dropped all projects for the time being cause I bought a private island off the coast of Tasmania and am busy building jetty, ramp,pontoon, houde, solar power, desalination unit etc etc etc

Also had to buy a boat big enough to take a car on to my island.

That's all, I'll be done soon...LOL
