Michael and anyone that wants to read this :)
Hard to believe but it is easier, the teeth on the bar are straight cut, no=
t at an angle like stock and the Helix (twist in the pinion) is less than s=
tock. I have had Number three in three different Tigers that I have owned, =
I wrote an article for the STOA newsletter about the first quick ratio stee=
ring racks that were developed by Doane Spencer and Gordon Schroeder and my=
 current reproduction. The article will go up on our website when it is pub=
lished. I needed a quick rack for my race car Tiger, I don't like the MG Mi=
dget setup as it is hard to turn and you lose turning radius. With MGB stee=
ring arms on drop spindles and straight inner tie rod ends on my Tiger you =
could do a u turn with one finger, this is with 205 55 13 Avon Cr 500 tires=
 on 7.5 in rims on the front. Lots of people have driven my Tiger and they =
can all attest as to how good it steers. My quick rack Number M-Three was a=
 bit worn out as it was first in Bob Reiser's Bomber auto cross Tiger, then=
 in Norm's beater Tiger then in my Red Tiger then my Green Tiger then my Cu=
rrent Black beater Tiger. The pinion was worn but other than that it was ok=
. The new ones are made of 4140 HT and were built by an OEM rack Manufactur=

 Bill,Really interesting, obviously more responsive, but does it make the s=
