With the tie-rod removed from the rack, I added another reference bracket to the inner ball joint (a 4-link bracket I had on a shelf):

Here's the Triumph rack. I've fitted some bolts in place of the tie rods:

The S2000 shaft, and joints are on for a test fit. I may use them.

Just a very rough placement of the TR7/8 rack to show the offset between the rack output and the factory S2000 tie rod location. For those who didn't read the whole thread; the crank pulley is to far forward thus the rack must move forward. With a little inventiveness I should be able to retain proper tie-rod positioning while gaining the needed engine clearance. More to come on that:
