Hi All,
I currently have installed Dale A's MG Midget rack and MGB steering arms
conversion. I have run this way for several years now and am generally
satisfied with everything but the larger turning circle. I am considering
keeping the setup I have but going back to the shorter stock steering arms to
tighten the turning circle. Is anyone running Dale A's conversion with the
stock steering arms?
If so are you able to use the Alpine tie rod ends from the conversion in the
stock Tiger steering arms or is the taper on the bolt shaft different? Other
than the fact that Alpine tie rod ends come in LH and RH versions are they the
same as Tiger tie rod ends? I have test fitted a Tiger tie rod end on a spare
Midget rack and the threads seem to be the same. Of course the inner tie rod
shaft on the MG rack is shorter than the Tigers so I still need to use Dale A's
adjustable coupler (which is desirable for alignment purposes).
Do the stock steering arms mount as originally oriented left and right or do
you need to flip them from side to side like you do with the MGB steering arms
in Dale A's conversion??
Any other issues I have not thought of?
I have measured the lock to lock travel in both the MG rack and the Tiger rack
and they are the same. I trealize that the stock steering arms will negate the
ackerman angle improvement, such as it is, in Dale A's kit mod. But my thinking
is I am no worse off than stock and I like the much quicker lock to lock
movement in the MG rack versus stock (2.7 turns vs 3.7?). Steering effort may
go up I guess...?
Thanks in advance for all advice and experiences shared.
Gene
