Power steering rack

Post by healeyneil »

Finally got started on my 320 Baur. First surprise was a power steering rack. Now, given that in a previous question I was told that I dont need power assistance, what are my options here. Will a standard rack bolt straight in ? There was some chat about high ratio racks - are these available. Thanks in advance
Once the engine is out, I hope to sell it here if I can. Whats it worth ? an M20 which runs, got a flex plate for auto. I will also advertise the carb etc

Yes, you can fit a non power rack. Quick racks are still being worked on but unavailable yet. Unfortunately your old engine is only worth whatever someone who wants one will pay. Most people upgrade but you never know.
