Jay, I have never heard of it being done before.Mal is the morris oxford rack your idea or has it been done before? it looks really good and has got to be cheaper than the midget conversion. will be interested on how it performs
Jay
What happened was I bought the Oxford rack which dimension were the same as a Midget rack. The only problem was it is rear steer which would be ok in a LHD Tiger. I could not find a Midget rack here and to import one I could of ended up with a piece of expensive junk.
I striped down the Tiger rack to find the rack dry of oil and badly worn. Then I thought perhaps I could have a new rack made to the dimensions of a Midget rack and use the Tiger pinion and case. The gear cutter could not cut a rack to match the Tigers helical pinion.
We ended up turning down the Oxford rack a little as it was thicker and machining up a new pinion to match. Cheaper I don't think so, but it all just bolts back in place and should work the same as a Midget rack.
Cheers.
