Can anyone tell me please, does a steering rack from a LHD Midget fit a Minor? If the RHD rack can be turned upside down to fit to convert to LHD, would an LHD rack be identical to the RHD rack for a Minor?
Hopefully someone has followed along with that.
Thanks

Re: Midget Steering Rack
For most years of Midgets that is true. The Midget rack was changed at some point, maybe early Seventies. It looks different.
Re: Midget Steering Rack
Thanks. From what I have gleaned, the earlier racks are fat and the later ones (post '70 I guess) are thin.
The one I found wasn't exactly cheap and since then I've seen them going on eBay, new, for about the same price.
I didn't intend to convert mine to LHD but if I can get hold of the parts cheaply then I might have them to do the job at a later date.

If you do decide to convert to LHD, then perhaps my thread on experiences will be useful
