Hi all,

I just have a few questions, about my W123 280E trackcar project.

My questions are:
Has anyone fitted rack and pinion steering to their W123?
If so, what steering rack have you used? and, how did you do it?

OR, Has anyone fitted a higher ratio steering box?
If so, what was it off?

I want to quicken the steering. and make it more responsive.

I don't want to fit a steering quickening box, because I won't be able to have the car road-legal with 1 fitted.

That's all for now, many thanks Frank.

PS, what ever car you suggest, must have been available in RHDWink

Has anyone fitted a steering box from a later Mercedes? (such as a SLK, CLK, etc...)
