611 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sounds like you are hoping they are the same Andy Was just about to refurb my current rack and that one would save me having to do it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony g Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Andy it looks like the b series is held on with clamps around the main body, whereas A's are bolted on, so no it wont fit. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Andy it looks like the b series is held on with clamps around the main body, whereas A's are bolted on, so no it wont fit. Tony In fact the one listed doesn't look like a rack for a Manta B or the Cav Coupe, as I don't see the threaded mounting brackets on it that the fixing bolts screw into, or have my eyes packed in?

Danny D114BCW Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Good price. I once heard the GTE and the Exclusives had different racks (exclusive wasn't as much lock to lock) and off topic again is it just the two I have had this year or do exclusives not have intermittent wipers unlike the GTEs etc?

rutts Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 A + B rack different but can be modified to fit easily. only big difference is the steering arms ( centre part bolts on to a same ). cut the B steering arms down to same length as A and thread end again fit B track rod ends job done. easier to get a quick rack gear kit. dan its the stub axle that is different, exclusive are slightly longer ( hole for track rod end fitment ) to make steering lighter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony g Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 So the B racks have a single threaded boss per side too? I cant see them in that pic either. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Shame there was only the one picture. It does look like its sat up on some sort of mounting points? I've got a kit to refurb mine but thought a new one would be one less job to do and move me a little closer to getting it finished!!
