Not to my knowledge.
R & P steering was largely adopted to make it easier to get the steering parts all in the correct locations. Also cheaper to make than any other type.

I believe it was experimented with on the Healey Ferrari chassis in 1957 or 1958. One of Geoff's books mentions it. I guess the benefits were not worth the bother. The V8 Healey group does have some plans on how to add it to a 100 on their web site. Not sure about a 6 cylinder car. An MGB can be made to work but I don't know about the turning circle adequacy.

I just purchased a 3000 Mk II and am interested in a rack & pinion conversion - does anyone know of any existing conversions?

just posted this under another topic. The Modified Austin
Healey Registry site has lots of references to rack and
pinion conversions and sources for parts and tech. info.
