1. TR3 rack & pinion (score: 1): Author: "Mark York" <m-syork@comcast.net>; Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 07:16:20 -0700; Has anyone noticed the rack and pinion conversion on E-Bay (#4564261396)? I was considering bidding on it to swap out in the TR3 racer (for safety purposes) as a winter project. From the descriptions; /html/fot/2005-07/msg00307.html (7,536 bytes)

From strictly "eyeball" / side-by-side comparisons, it seems to me that all the Triumph steering racks, whether TR4-6 or Herald-based, are about the same width.

The way I look at it, "camber gain" is just a part of bump steer.
