I'm looking at a couple of MG midget rack& pinions on ebay, for the ackerman mod. I'm a little nervous about buying one sight unseen - any thoughts on whether its better to get one at a junkyard wher

I got the Midget rack out of a So. Cal. Pick A Part for $35. It is from.... I think a '74 (it had those bulbous bumpers). The reason the pre 70 is prefered (so I'm told) is that Dale uses two intern

Have you considered using an extra pair of steering tie rods (threaded rack ends) off an alpine or MGB (or whatever will fit up to the new tie rod ends), cutting off the threaded ends, and welding o
