Q & A: Steering Rack, Interchangable Parts Manual

Monday March 18th, 2002
Q & A, MGA, MGB, MGC, MG T-Type, Midget
Hi John, need a little advice on purchasing a new or rebuilt steering rack(and steering column,with "sheer" pins) for a 1969 MG Midget. Would prefer new,but understand that they are hard to find. Also,some chat line suggested that a Morris Minor unit would work(would have to be turned around and a right hand drive Morris unit be used for the left hand drive MG). Sounds a bit "iffy" to me.

Do you know of a manual that features interchangeable parts for English makes? I have seen one for Morgans(very complete).

Have owned a few English cars over the years and cannot seem to get away from them. Had 1949 T.C.(California race car),1958 Morris Minor 1,000(new),MG-A,3 MG Midgets(early 1950s TDs), XK-120, TR-3(small mouth). In those days you might have the car,but little money left to enjoy it,but it was fun,nonetheless.

Thanks for your time....John E. Atkinson
