Try disconnecting the tie rod ends and re-assessing. The MG rack & 
pinion is quite sturdy. While it is possible the R&P could seize, I 
think it more likely one or both kingpins would seize - especially if 
the rubber seals have perished and it has not been greased regularly.

Funny you should ask, I spent this morning cleaning car parts out of my 
mother's house as we prepare to sell it.  I have a rack from a 1969 
parts car.  I've never drove the car before removing the rack 25 years 
ago.  Rack seems fine.  You can have it.  I'm in Orange County NY.

I want someone to use it not sell it.
