Hi all.

I know REDA9X posted some casting numbers and ratios in another thread, but does anyone know the casting numbers and ratios of the A9X racks or the last UC racks.

9932244 18:1
9942632 20.4:1
UC has one across the range, sorry not sure of the ratio, I have a feeling it's 25:1.
there are another 2, but they are A9X only


I vaguely remember a 16:1, but am happy to be wrong

Thanks,

Welby

Welby, a cut 'n' paste of an old post of mine on this subject. Hope it helps.


Not that you can always trust manuals, but the LH parts manual specifies only one rack for the LH (doesn't mention a ratio), the LX parts manual specifies ratios of 18 and 20.4:1 for all except A9X and 18 and 25:1 for A9X, with separate part numbers for 18 and 25:1 ratios for the A9X, and a Gregory's manual I have for the UC states a ratio of 20.4:1.

Can someone post a pic on where to find these numbers?

I have 2 UC racks and cannot find the numbers.

I remember another post saying the A9X has the 25:1 ratio.

as you stand at the nose of the car looking into the engine bay, look down to the right hand side of the rack. Where the tube meets the casting , the numbers are on the casting and just above the horizontal axis

i'll find a pic

Are the casting numbers the numbers that are cast or stamped?

The numbers that I have cast into the casing end in 77 and it looks like the number in the photo is the same.

From memory of another post there are three available ratios.

18:1

20:1

and 25:1 (A9X)
