Location: brighouse just shy huddersfield		As far as I'm aware you can't use a tf arb due to ground clearance issues

Location: Lincolnshire		I was talking to Adam wondering if he uses a metro arb as well as a tf frame, as I have a metro arb polybushed and mgf cans shortened and looking for more aggressive road holding

The rack holes are already there, but there is a plate that you have to grind off to get the rack to fit.

Location: Herts		I thought you could just use a front TF frame and bolt the steering rack straight on?

You'd loose the engine and gearbox mounts then. Would be more work than using a metro frame.
Rear frame and chop the excess bits off. Easiest method imo
