I agree with the above on 5 lug 65-69 cars, but I still recommend the Granada kit for 65-66 4 lug because the Granada kit includes the 5 lug spindles.
FYI, I'm working on 5 lug 26 spine axle replacement for 6 cylinder 65-66 and 67-69. I'm also working on the long awaited drop spindle, and reproduction 5 lug 65-66 and 67-73 spindles, all with the large spindle pin.
The developement of a front SN95 PBR type 2 piston aluminum caliper and 1.025" thick 11" diameter rotor for Granada spindle is coming along well. Unlike the Cobra and SN97 brake conversions offered by others that have the calipers, brackets, and rotors laying 1-2" or more outboard from stock position, this set-up will reside at the stock position. In fact, I'll even offer dust shields.

i bought your kit a few month ago and it works great. i also have a rack and pinion from randall and like most other rack and pinion owners, i have a larger turning radius.
the steering arm is to long for the travel of the racks. (except maybe for the tcp ones)
would it be possible to design them in a way that would allow r&p owners to correct the turning radius.
for example by adding a second hole for the outer tie rods, or a removable steering arm like on the wilwood hotrod spindles?
