  I did mine by fitting the knuckle from a Defender and drilling the steeing damper for the chassis end.
 If you use a RRC steering damper you have to get it positioned just right, the front drag link moves further than the rear track rod.  In theory that should make the damper more effective but I find it allows the driver's wheel to flutter on RH turns.

It looks like a very nice Rangey...... boys and toys! how much did you pay for it? you said the bummpers were home made? they look quite nice. I'm after a front and rear bummper, good and solid, to protect the front and mainly rear end while still looking original.... don't surpose the guy you got it off knows if you can get these bummpers again...... or are you thinking of geting rid of them :thumbup:
