so I centralised the rack on fitting it to the subframe and centred the steering wheel before fitting the column and rack

The coupling is in the foot well under a rubber cover.

the coupling hinges over the drive from the rack. Unusual as I am used to splines on my other cars but this is a good engineering solution. The pin was also added

and a new M8 nyloc used. Again not torqued up that will be done with the wheels on the road.

and the suspension almost completely built up. The drive shaft nuts, steering column joint will be torqued when the wheels are on the floor.
