Tom -
I had a good friend who was struck in the chest by a
similar type land rover steering column in 1980 when
he had a head on collision at night with parked
construction equipment (in Amman, Jordan, where I used
to live).
He survived the the accident and was in the hospital
recuperating, when he coughed... and fell over and
died. They found out later the steering column, which
had impacted his sternum, also ripped his aorta. When
he coughed it ripped open and he died instantly.
I for one am considering either the cape kit or an MGB
rack and pinion conversion.
Regards,
Alan
