Question on your steering rack.   Using the spridget rack or the much later Triumph style rack?  I was looking at your " tie rod ends" which is why I ask.The header into the megaphone side pipe looks very similar other than my set up uses some pipe size graduation and a glass pack muffler as part of its graduated increase of exiting diameter.  My car came with 20+ year old Blue Streak slicks on Ansen Sprint alloy wheels.  Took an act of God with 2 people & a modern tire machine to get those rock hard tires off the rims.   The rescue , preservation and resurrection of this Midget has been one incredibly interesting job of forensic " what the heck is that thing" & " OMG! What were they thinking?"!!!!!   Mechanically it is a completely difrent car now.   ( thankfully from a safety point of view).ChuckSent from my LG Mobile

Hi Chuck,

The rack on my car is a LHD Morris Minor unit which gives me a RHD Bugeye.  T=
he tie rod end is a Heim joint spaced down to correct for bump steer after l=
owering the front of the car.  Other non standard parts in that photo are th=
e Carella tube shocks and the brake cooling ducts.  It also has Carellas on t=
he rear with 3 leaf offset springs and a Watts link setup.
