I imagine that will be a proper PITA then as I assume the rack needs to be removed to fit them?

I think you can get away with fitting them in-situ, if you're careful, by drilling the rivet out. Then undo one of the rack bolts and loosen off the second, then you can rotate the old one out of the and fit the replacement. Then re-insert the removed rack bolt and repeat the process for the second bolt. Once they're both in, torque up the bolts and re-rivet (or not, as they're unlikely to be going anywhere). Check with NickB777 as he was going to use this method, or similar.

yep I used this method , no problem at all

stering rack riser plates (to reduce bump steer)

Just a point to say that this is an N/A only upgrade. VXT's already have the riser plates as standard. Because of this I have a set for sale , Unused I will charge the same amount as Eliseparts (£5) but will throw in free delivery within the UK (saving you about £3)

Did you find that out when you went to fit them?!!

Yup, after i'd drilled one out

Interesting - was wondering why my VXT seemed to have much less bump-steer than my NA, despite being lower...
