[Healeys] rack & pinion modification

[Michael Salter]

Hi Gary,
At the risk of sounding like a broken record I installed a shortened MGB
rack in AHX12
We were unable to find a satisfactory conversion kit anywhere.
We did all the work in-house. Details here.

As I mention in the narrative this is not an exercise for the faint of
heart... that said however the result of the whole package was a true
transformation.
