harness advice

so next on the list is a widetrack mk2 so need to find out a little is it just a case of unbolting subframe of mk3 and it bolts straight onto mk2 any ideas

Pretty much, although you'll need to cut the end tabs off the subframe at the back and you'll want a G2 rad on it (it might just be the rad is knackered in the G3.

cheers dh what about steering rack what one to use

Which ever you want.  Some sad-act can tell you which is quicker, but I doubt there's much difference...

The backing plates and eyebolts can be had relativly cheaply from most of the usual suppliers, I think that I paid a few quid each.  The rivets are just there to hold the backing plate in place whilst you are faffing around with the eyebolts as they tighten up nicely and pull the plate hard against the floor.

Nah - shouldn't matter.

for the front harness bolts you follow that diagram i posted earlier in the thread, measure the angle, follow the angle down and drill hole wherever is suitable

This needs a build thread. Good work dude, nice to see the running gear in the right MK of Golf
