Celebrity Rack and Pinion Modification

Hey guys, I'm looking into a Celebrity R&P for my 57. I have done a search looking for info on what exactly needs to be done to the stock rack. ie Shortened and re-threaded.

Does anyone have any other information on the specifics of the modification. How short do the rods get cut? How far are they re-threaded, Is one side a reverse thread? I have or can get all of the stock pieces like the sleeves and replacement ends.

I can get a stock rack A LOT cheaper than buying a kit.

Thanks,
Gil
