yes, it is possible to put R&P steering in a TR3- but not a TR4 rack. The
4 series cars had a wider track, and when installed in a 3, the resulting
tie rod assemblies have to be so short that a lot of steering geometry
problems occur. ( Lesson that learned the hard way!!) I installed a rack
from a Mini Cooper ( purchased parts through British Restorations in Norfolk
VA) in mine, and can report that the car drives really well. It is not a
job for the timid, but I am REALLY satisfied with the results. Drove it to
work today, maybe Overdrive is next,........Or the Toyo 5 sp...

A friend of mine also doing a TR3 project car heard somewhere that it is
possible to convert the TR3 to the TR4A rack and pinion steering.
Is this possible ?
How ?
Any documented reading on this ?
If so, where can I get it ?
Thanks All.
