Thanks Al, That's interesting to know.

My front end uses Jag arms and spindles but I have a Commodore manual rack that's solid mounted to the chassis.

It looks like they changed that on the later model jags too. I changed the rack in my XJ40 a few weeks back and I think the mounts were solid on that too.

Would it be worth while making up some aluminium bushes to solid mount your Jag rack rather than relying on the rubber bushes. I imagine the rubber bushes are there to isolate vibration from the steering wheel in the plush riding jaguar. Who cares about a bit of vibration in a Cobra? It's a road registered race car after all.

Cheers
