Default interchangeable rack and pinion

Anyone know of a rack and pinion setup that could be retrofitted to a classic? I have an 87 Continental with one and i was thinkin about how hard it would be to mount it and use it.

Alos, those of you who hae installed an aftermarket rack could you post pics so i could see how similar, if at all, they are to the one i have?

Any thing can be made to fit with the right modifications. the problem is the steering geometry is all wrong and bump steer becomes an issue. the only proven unit is one from a GM j-car. those units are center steer so brackets can be made to emulate the original steering geometry.


I have a web address on the topic but the server is not letting me post it or PM is so send me an email and I will send you the link
