Can you wind the racks from lock to lock & check the number of turns of the input shaft relative to when the rack bottoms out at either end.
Also total stroke comparison between the Pantera & MGB rack.

The Pantera rack installed is around 2 7/8 turns lock to lock.
Interesting to note that the Pantera does not have a steering stop, just utilises the rack bottoming out on its stroke.

Electric over hydraulic steering, hmmmm interesting.

Tony I measured the two racks yesterday. I had done this before but it has been a long time and I had forgotten the details.

The Pantera Rack:
1 turn = 1.5"
3.25 turns total
4.874" total movement

The MG Rack:
1 turn = 2 7/32"
3 turns
6.625" Total movement

This makes the MG rack a bit too coarse for the Pantera. I am still looking for my notes but the Power rack from MGOC was a lot closer in the ratio.
