For those that were interested, here is the write up on modifying the Corsica or Beretta power rack for use in a bug or sandrail. The mod allows you to put the rack against the back of the beam so installation is much simpler.

Seems like that is alot of work when you can bolt it on with out al that work. One just has to be a bit conscientious when lining things up.

I ran that rack for a while with all the changes I could think of in alignment and never got the bump steer out. So I went to a econo rack that enabled me to get the geometry right. But I would still be using that rack if I could get the tie rods at the rack forward up near the beams to eliminate the bump steer without the tie rods hitting the rack ends. On a VW trailing arm front end the tie rods need to meet up near the beams or you will have bump steer.
