59 TR3
I need to rebuild front suspension. The bearings in the steering need to be replaced, and I may need a new CAM. Trunions OK.
I have been told that under the above circumstances I might want to consider a Steering Rack Conversion.
There is an earlier discussion on this but with new parts and kits coming out I am hoping there may be additional info.
Questions:
1 Does converting to R and P significantly improve handling
2 Will converting adversly effect value of car
3 I have an adjustable steering column. Can I still use this?
4 Are there quality kits out there for a 59 tr3 that will allow me to use original horn and signal assembly. Britannia parts have one but the web site states its for 55, 56, and 57 model years (https://www.britanniaparts.com/conversions/triumph-tr3-a-b/steering-rack-conversion-kit-lhd-2.html) . Moss Motors kit requires converting to an electric fan and will not accept original horn and turn signals.
Any other input would be greatly appreciated.
