Theo,

Back in the mid to late 70's time frame we had a very active Tiger club here
in San Diego. Among our activities was to have a local firm remanufacture
the Doane Spencer quick ratio rack. I'd guess we had about twenty of the
rack and pinion gears made. I remember one of the meetings was essentially a
workshop where we got together in my garage and converted our racks to the
new gears. I'm not aware of anyone making any more since then. I believe
from what I've heard from people that use the MGB Midget rack that it's
fundamentally a better rack and about equivalent to the 16:1 ratio of the
Tiger quick steer rack.

Regards,

Bob
