[TR] TR2 front brake conversion

[Greg Lemon]

I agree about the brakes, I don't think it is a must thing, but if you are
bolting on parts from a later Triumph that otherwise is essentially the
same car.

However, rack and pinion steering.  I have driven TR3s with rack and pinion
steering.  Is it lighter and more direct? Yes.  Does it still feel like a
widescreen TR? No, not at all.
