The steering had been an issue, initially how and then followed by where. To resolve the how I took a rough measurement between the steering knuckles with the wheels pointing roughly in the same direction and then spent an afternoon going through an old manual of steering racks from a local parts supplier. I wasn't worried using the latest manual as nearly all modern cars have power steering and I'm going for the more manly muscle powered version.
Once I had a list of potential racks I talked the supplier into allowing me to spend a dusty afternoon in their warehouse checking each possible steering rack. The victim that was the nearest to my requirements was the rack from an MG Midget which made me very happy as we have to keep it in the family if possible!
The first trial fit required the rack to be narrowed....yes, a Midget rack was too wide! Luckily one of the reasons I'd gone with this model is that the track rod arms are very long so I was able to trim 40mm off of each end and cut the threads further along the rods which effectively narrowed the rack by a total of 80mm...just right!

To mount it to the car I dug through my pile of spare steel stock until I found some 3mm thick angle which looked about right.
First job, notch the ends...

The notches fit nicely between the chassis rails and the bent up ends gives me a lot more welding area.
After a lot of very careful measuring it was finally welded to the chassis...
