You need some rack spacers..doddle to fit...and I think you should be able to get them from Pennisula

Not sure on this, but, I thought there was two different offset values to spiders and for a cerb only one value was correct for the front. It could have been fit two sets of tuscan rears or something .
Waits for someone that knows what they are talking about to chip in .

I thihk it depends!
As I understand it you fit Tuscan FRONTS to the front and rear of the cerb and you need to do some slight mods to the cerb.
I believe that some later cerbs are fitted with tuscan front and rears.

Keep up at the back! ...there has been at least ahalf a dozen threads in the space of as many months here, regarding this very problem! All but the odd person has had to fit spacers...even on the correct offset spiders! (Tuscan fronts). I have tuscan fronts and I had to fit the spacers to stop the inside edge rubbing on the wishbones....maybe we should make this a "Sticky"...

[cozzy]

thanks for the replys, they are all tuscan fronts but rubbing on the wishbone like satman. What size spacers did you fit to stop it mate?

[satman]

They are a standard size...a nylon ring about 3mm thick, with a cut through to allow you to 'clip' it over the steering rack arms...(you have to pull back the steering rack gator each side to do it, but is much easier than it sounds...)

Cheers, thanks for your help.
