While I definitely feel that since it's TeriAnn's car, it should be whatever
pleases her (sorry, Lou, but that's the way I feel about it); I also have to
say that once I completed a full rebuild of the suspension & steering box,
my 59 TR3A steered just as easily as any manual steering car I've ever
driven and better than some.  (Leaving me feeling like a fool for not having
redone the box years before.)  

With the R&P conversion, you will also lose at least the self-canceling
aspect of the turn signals ... most kits abandon the control head entirely,
leaving the detail of what to do for horn & turn controls up to the
installer.
