Hi Chuck,

The rack on my car is a LHD Morris Minor unit which gives me a RHD Bugeye.  T=
he tie rod end is a Heim joint spaced down to correct for bump steer after l=
owering the front of the car.  Other non standard parts in that photo are th=
e Carella tube shocks and the brake cooling ducts.  It also has Carellas on t=
he rear with 3 leaf offset springs and a Watts link setup.
