Group,
I have not adjusted the steering stops yet. I have converted to R&P so does anyone know if you can adjust as far as possible as long as the tires don't rub?

This may or may not be relevant to a TR3 (I have a TR6), but make sure that the steering stops prevent the trunnion bolt head or nut from contacting the brake disc. I had a mysterious groove on a disc that I thought was caused by a rock until the real cause was found. Check both wheels at full travel.

With the stock steering, I always ran mine adjusted out as far as they would go (but the adjuster still in place). No problems at all, until I installed an ADDCO sway bar in combination with wide tires; then I had to reel it in just a bit to keep the tires from rubbing on the sway bar.

But I'm not familiar with the R&P conversion, it's possible that the R&P needs a closer limit. Just make sure the stop hits before the rack reaches the end of its travel.
