If you were going to do it, you probably wouldn't want triumph parts. Peyote
has a rack from a Subaru. You'll need to do a lot of fabrication, might as
well start with something modern. Of course there are very few places that
you could race it.
There's nothing really wrong with the peg and worm steering, as long as you
make the bits work well. The key to making these cars handle is to eliminate
the bump steer and get the camber curve right for the tire you're going to
use. That doesn't have much to do with how you make it turn.

Subject: TR3 Frame work
Hi List,
Thanks for adding me to the list!
I have a 1958 TR3-A TS29341. Raced in the 60's by my father in the SCCA
with the Steel Cities Region. The car is completely taken apart. Body off
the frame, engine apart. Pretty much a "Box" project. I did all of the
dismantling 20yrs ago when I was young and stupid. Now older and still
stupid, I have started the proccess of rebuilding for a vintage racer and
maybe some regional SCCA. I have Kas's black book and we are using it to
guide us.
Here come the questions...
1. I'm having the frame stengthened with gussets. Any areas we should pay
special attention to? The front shock towers maybe?
2. I want to add rack and pinon steering. Do I have to buy the "kit" from
england or is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance.
Todd Redmond
