Harry and all,Back in 1974 Bill Miller purchased the Hollywood Sport Cars Tiger, it came with three quicker than stock steering racks, he reproduced one that fit in the stock housing that is2.6 turns lock to lock versus the stock Tiger rack that is 3.2 turns lock to lock. Bill Miller made 18 of them in 1976 I have number three and had it reproduced.It transforms the steering of the car.Bill

Bill,

Really interesting, obviously more responsive, but does it make the
steering any heavier with the lower ratio?

Michael and anyone that wants to read this :)
Hard to believe but it is easier, the teeth on the bar are straight cut, no=
t at an angle like stock and the Helix (twist in the pinion) is less than s=
tock. I have had Number three in three different Tigers that I have owned, =
I wrote an article for the STOA newsletter about the first quick ratio stee=
ring racks that were developed by Doane Spencer and Gordon Schroeder and my=
 current reproduction. The article will go up on our website when it is pub=
lished. I needed a quick rack for my race car Tiger, I don't like the MG Mi=
dget setup as it is hard to turn and you lose turning radius. With MGB stee=
ring arms on drop spindles and straight inner tie rod ends on my Tiger you =
could do a u turn with one finger, this is with 205 55 13 Avon Cr 500 tires=
 on 7.5 in rims on the front. Lots of people have driven my Tiger and they =
can all attest as to how good it steers. My quick rack Number M-Three was a=
 bit worn out as it was first in Bob Reiser's Bomber auto cross Tiger, then=
 in Norm's beater Tiger then in my Red Tiger then my Green Tiger then my Cu=
rrent Black beater Tiger. The pinion was worn but other than that it was ok=
. The new ones are made of 4140 HT and were built by an OEM rack Manufactur=
