I am rebuilding my 66 Sprite - and I noticed the same thing. The car is off
having some welding done right now, but if my memory serves me, I believe mine
only has the plate on the right also.
I have yet to drive the car, so I don't know if it's a problem yet. I thought
that maybe a previous owner had replaced the steering rack and only fitted one.
