Thanks Dan, ever helpful as always. From what you say my rack may well be in the correct position, as I would expect. Something, somewhere, must be different as there is no room above the rack to pass a 1 3/4" tube through the frame. It shouldn't make any difference which side the steering pinion is as everything is mirrored from the other side. I wonder if Kirkham have beefed up the spring tower a little and thereby restricted the size of the triangular hole in this part of the frame.

Jim Cowles is going to send a repro tube with my trans, but it's possible his source is the same chap so I won't press him.
