[Fot] Steering Rack Conversion

[Richard Gehweiler]

The MkI Mini steering rack has not been made for many years now. 
Suppliers now sell the later style rake that require the late style 
steering arms. As far as interchangeability with the TR conversion kit, 
it should bolt in, but I don't know it there would be any difference 
with the steering arms. I think because of the TR's bigger wheels, it 
probably wouldn't matter.

Hope this helps some.
