Reply to "Ferrari 308 steering rack - but which one?"

I haven't tried but it appears that some of the electric-boosted conversion assemblies could be coupled directly to the metric steering rack pinion spline down by the l. front wheel. That would free up under-dash space for better wiring access and remove some top-mounted weight. You'd have to make up a mount for steering forces to react into and probably trim some sheet metal from the inner fender, but under-dash-mount kits require trimming, too. Cam Gears Ltd made several steering ratio pinion shafts over the years and if you add electric boost, it might pay dividends to add a smaller ratio R&P (and more caster w/ wider tires) which the boost would easily absorb. Let us know if someone tries any innovations in this area.
