As you probably know, the Williams has a wider track than a Valver and other Mk1s as standard, which alot of people talk about. The Williams track is 34mm wider overall, and also runs with a thicker anti roll bar, which all improves the handling.
172 Widetrack Information
Now that there are quite a few people that have successfully fitted the 172 widetrack to their Mk1, we know that it is actually wider than the Williams widetrack. We are unsure of the actual figure, but it is at least 10mm overall, if not more!
The other advantage of running 172 widetrack is you get the larger brake setup (280mm disks over 259mm). Plus with the 172 brake setup you have a lot more options for aftermarket brakes (4pots, 6pots, etc), especially when they come up second hand.
Please Note: -----------------------------------------------------------------
The guide is based on fitting the 172 widetrack to a Valver, with regards to parts required and procedure. Its also worth noting that everything fits to a Valver or Williams subframe perfectly fine. Fitting it to a Williams would be the same, apart from you would keep the Williams shock absorbers and Williams anti roll bar.

Why Do I Need A Williams Steering Rack?
A lot of people that fit Williams widetrack onto their Valver just simply wind the track rod ends outwards to make them longer, so they meet up with the hubs and the wider track. Whilst this is ok on the Williams widetrack setup, we hit a problem with doing it on a 172 widetrack setup as it is wider than the Williams. The track rod ends will not physically wind out far enough to meet the hubs without falling off and/or just being plain dangerous.
A Williams steering rack is wider from factory, to meet the extra width of the williams track. This is ideal for 172 widetrack users as once fitted, the track rod ends can just be wound out as described above, but because the arms on the rack are longer, there is no danger of them being too short.
Williams steering racks are power assisted, and will straight swap onto your valver if you are retaining the power steering setup without a problem. Its just as simple as connecting the hoses up. If you are not running power steering, its possible to pack the inside of the rack with grease and seal the holes, converting it into a 'manual' rack, but keeping the extra length on the arms to meet up with the 172 widetrack.
The other option is to remove the actual arms from the Williams steering rack (as this is the component that is longer), and fit them onto your current Valver steering rack. They are a pain to remove, but it is an option.
