Hi there,
Was wondering if anyone may have a RHD steering rack to suit an '84 GT5 Pantera?
Preferably in new (NOS) or good used condition.
Thanks for your assistance.
Regards,
Jason

I was under the understanding that the RACK was the same .. meaning that the cars were the same and the difference was a RHD car had changes under the dash ... meaning the steering wheel was moved with some sort of linkages under the dash.

Ron,
I think the brake booster and clutch master may be connected with linkages, not the rack. I recall Johhny Woods telling me he had acquired the very last NOS RHD steering rack.
I suspect it would be a lot less hassle to have you existing rack rebuilt, unles of course this is a LHD to RHD conversion. You may have to source something more modern as a replacement, either way the UK guys would be your best source. I would suggest a PM to Johnny Woods.

Johnny Woods is a great start, but if you need to get a hold of any of the other UK DeTomaso Drivers Club guys, PM me and I can send you their contact information. Roger Brotton does a lot of work on RHD Panteras in the UK, and so you may want to talk to him in particular.
