[QUOTE="Graham L, post: 631962, member: 3481"] All the parts apart from the worms are currently available, people have carried out their own steering rack conversion, Darius & Mycha on this forum for 2 I know of, its a case of finding a suitable centre fed rack, you simply cant use any rack with short tie rod ends as it creates bump steer due to the way the trailing arm on the front beam works. Theres a few racks around that work, MK3 Astra, Peugeot 106/Citreon Saxo etc, Creative Engineering who make the splitty one did make a bay version but it hung too low due to the chassis differences on a bay and eventually removed it from sale. Neil at Litesteer has mentioned it a few times but again nothing has come to the market yet. The other issue besides the rack is finding a good bevel box to turn the steering through nearly 90 degrees at the bottom of the column, at the moment the steering box does this for you, with a steering rack you need a separate bevel box and whilst people have used the one from the T25 they are in short supply and only available secondhand [/QUOTE]
