Bedford Rascal Rack and Pinion

[mike.s]

So - who has fitted a bedford rascal rack and pinion to their van?

I`m looking into options - and this appears to be one possibility?

If you have, was it for left hand drive and what bits did you buy to convert it? I would be doing the conversion myself.

Also, i have a king and link front beam - not sure if this makes any differnce or not

Cheers, MIke

Seems like there is quite a bit of information regarding the installation

Mike, LHD and RHD racks ought to work on both LHD & RHD vehicles -if it steers the wrong way the rack is in the wrong place and the respective LHD or RHD pitman arm needed on the beam.

I've seen all 4 variants working and everyone seems to do it a little differently.
