[TR] Rack & pinion conversions for TR3's???

[dlylis at gmail.com]

I have done exactly as you describe and now do not have the $ for the rack and pinion that I want. I say Terriann should go for it. Competing with modern cars for space at speed needs the R&P in my opinion. Original steering is great when used at speeds and conditions for which it was intended. Simply, IMHO.

Teriann:
Would rather prefer that you rebuild the front suspension, as you admit it  
needs, followed by the rebuild of the steering box.  Only after those two  
are completed, then and only then consider the rack & pinion, for as you are 
 aware the rack & pinion is the top of the slippery slope that leads to a  
host of other needless modifications.

I'm  getting tired of strong arming my TR3A through the curves and have

With a 3 in need of a  front suspension  rebuild.
