[TR] TR2-3 steering worm installation, now R&P

[Bob Westerdale]

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.
