Re: GROUP BUY - Quaife Quick Rack
Guys
E-mail back from Quaife:
So, in summary:
£125+VAT+delivery(TBC) for a kit only.
If you want it fitted at Quaife then add £75 + VAT
Lock to lock will be 2.75 (TBC)
Replacement parts will be available and it'll come with a guarantee.
What i need now is your opinions and confirmation of 10 definites before we can crack on.
Once i get 10, I'll need a rack to be sent to Quiafe - Either Shaun or White2i. Shaun, upto you but it doesnt look like they're offering any bonus for supplying the initial rack so i would suggest you keep hold of your FRST one.
We only need one though please discuss and make a decision on here .
E-mail back from Quaife:
Quaife Dude :Dear Chris,
Please could you send the sample steering rack to:
RT Quaife Engineering Ltd
Vestry Road
Otford
Sevenoaks
Kent
TN14 5EL
Please could you mark it “Mk3 Fiesta rack sample” and include your full name, address and telephone number.
The answers to your questions are as follows:
1. The final purchase will be for the kit only.
2. We can fit the kit to the original racks for £75.00 per rack + standard parts (if required) + VAT.
3. Unfortunately we do not cater for power steering racks.
4. The lock to lock would be approximately 2.75 depending on what is possible on the sample.
5. Replacement parts will be available and the kit guaranteed for faulty workmanship and material.
6. A provisional price, from experience but before seeing the sample, would be in the region of £125.00 each + VAT + Delivery + Tooling (if applicable)
7. The kit can be fitted to the donor rack for £75.00 + standard parts (if required) + VAT.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Peter Drake

I'll hold onto my FRST rack then, So might as well just send a normal one to them (which I don't posess)
I'm sure they could send it back once they have finished with it can't they ?
I personally will fit my kit myself.

Re: GROUP BUY - Quaife Quick Rack
Done a search and found this. Its a detailed guide for a VW Quaife kit but I'd presume that our one is going to be something like it. Seems relatively easy to do

Re: GROUP BUY - Quaife Quick Rack
had a thought today, can you ask if they are limiting the "full lock"
i ask this for this reason, if they base there quick rack on the full travel of a standard rack, the "full lock" could be be more than what it is on a FRST meaning wheels scrubbing on the inner wing.
i almost didnt ask this due to the fact people can fit there own limitors (if they get some)

quaife :Dear Chris,
The full lock will not be anymore than the stock steering rack.
The limiting factor to the speed of the rack is the dimensions of the casing.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
