Re: Rack and pinion conversion-
I did it a decade (+) ago, and it was a very significant improvement to
the car's demeanor.
In a side by side R&P/worm-peg comparison, it is a winner, regardless
of whether the Worm&Peg is old or rebuilt.
However, if the originality factor is more important than driving
pleasure, well, you get my drift....

Come on Randall,
If, as I suspect, you are rebuilding your new TR3 project then stop
mucking
around with worms & pegs - "bite the bullet" and put in a good rack&
pinion
conversion.
In my 25 years of owning TS3612 the single most impressive improvement I
made was converting to rack & pinion steering several years ago. The
troubles involved in getting a good setup with the original design, let
alone maintaining it, are well documented on the list, and lets face it
Triumph fixed it themselves in the TR4.
