I am looking for a steering rack, for a single seater, with the column in the centre.
Any-one have one laying unused.
Usual beer tokens waiting

Denis, do you actually want a proper race rack with column centred or do you simply want a small rack which will give reasonable lock to lock at sensible gearing? (not as vicious as a dedicated race rack), if it's the latter then go for the Cinq/Seicento rack which is what I use on the Furore as it's a good rack, cheap & small ideal for a single seater & yes it is also the rack used on the Roadrunner Sprint

The terrapin I have started uses a modded Porsche 914-911 steering rack...

Single seaters have very quick racks - mine in my Westfield is about 1.5 turns rack to rack - fine for competition use though!
