i'll offer this on here first before i put it on ebay. i bought this from usa for my buggy without asking right question , like will it fit my ball jointed front end? NO. this beautiful ali bracket , brand new, is made to fit a KING AND LINK front beam together with a brand new empi 14in rack , again brand new but has been used in display and has a few minor marks ,but has never been fitted. get a bargin ,don't have to pay import duties, vat ect, £150 plus postage or you can collect

Am I right in thinking this won't fit with a framehead either?  Space frame or handrail only?
Thanks

as far as i can see ,once i line up the  bracket with beam it does clear frame head with bracket sited on top bar of frame , the bracket holes are wrong size and in wrong place for ball jointed beam, its bigger than king and link beam the other problem is the shocks are in the way of track rods.

Sorry if I'm being a bit dim, but I assumed it mounted to the both tubes of the front beam, in which case the two plates that support the rack mount would be right where the framehead should be  :-\
I'm not trying to be a pain, I'm interested in the rack - even got a linkpin front end.  Just can't see how it would fit.

no it fits in place of your steering box , bracket splits in half and clamps on front beam and your steering collom fits straight on

Ah, I see.  Only ever seen them centre mounted to give equal length track rods.  ;-)up
