Brian Ternamian replied to Brian Ternamian's discussion Rack and Pinion steering for XK120 in the group XK WORKSHOP GROUP"Hi Ron, Thanks for the tip.

Rack and Pinion steering for XK120
I have a '54 FHC basket case my Dad left me and am contemplating doing this as the original steering seems shot. I would like to know exactly what I would have to do to accomplish this.
