I agree about the brakes, I don't think it is a must thing, but if you are
bolting on parts from a later Triumph that otherwise is essentially the
same car.
However, rack and pinion steering. I have driven TR3s with rack and pinion
steering. Is it lighter and more direct? Yes. Does it still feel like a
widescreen TR? No, not at all.
