are there any other racks that fit the bb1s? tracked mine for the first time and the steering is so long!

Short answer... No

aftermarket? CRX?

No sorry

Only completely custom. Not sure if it's something @PerformanceAutoworks has considered and looked into (Sure it is ), but Rich is a busy man, so give him time to respond

I have never experienced a problem with the length of the steering I can get round the hairpin at Knockhill with my hands still at quarter to three, and that is not far off a 180 degree turn. 2WS BB4.

+1 although the harpin at cadwell is a little hard with no power steering

Lads on Polish forum also have had that problem on short and small tracks. I do not know where that discussion stop but as I remember they plan to send some spare rack to company who modify that and will send back for test. And cost was about £400 +/- for each car.

Speak to Skwaro, he is registered here he will tell you more about this as he was involved in that discussion.

Would fitting a smaller wheel not help as the standard steering wheel is mahoosive

If you want to change the "speed" of the rack, you will need to change both the rack and pinion gears within the rack itself to change the gear ratios.

A smaller wheel will only make the steering heavier - you won't reduce the number of turns required just by changing the wheel - all you'll do is bring your point of action towards the centre of the wheel, requiring more torque to turn the wheel at the same speed.

But provided you don't find the load difficult to turn you will be able to turn a smaller wheel faster.
