I picked this up a long while back and am not going to use it, never unboxed it from ebay. Not sure what it's worth. I do have new rubber boots. Give a holler if you want to look at it.

I'll get a pic of it at some point posted. PM if any interest.

I may ship this as it's still boxed up, but would prefer pick up in Los Angeles area so you can look at it and see it it's what it's supposed to be as I have no idea what I'm looking at ;)

Sandy . . mgb rack or do you mean midget rack? The early midget rack is the one people use on tiger front ends.

See I told you I have no idea what it is :)

It's hopefully a Midget Rack. I will have to take a picture. It was advertised on ebay years ago when I got it that it's for the Tiger upgrade. So will have to get a couple of pics

Don't you need special mounts to attach to the Tiger cross member? What about tie rod ends? And the advantage is it's quicker ratio?

Yes, you do need some special mounts I think Dale sells them, and what does it do for the steering? Can't say exactly but Idea was to help with the bad Ackerman problem that bug some folks. I picked it prior to getting a new coil over front end, so not going to use it. Other can say more about it then me I'm sure :)

You need the mounts and adaptors, mgb steering arms, and 2 lhs ( iirc) alpine tie rods. It corrects some of the akerman issues and slightly less turns lock to lock.

The MG Midget rack conversion onto the Tiger was to be the cure to the Tiger steering Woooahs . Not perfect , but helped .

To make this work ...... One needs the adapter kit . Dales Resto USE TO sell these for $225 - $250 . There is now a guy that sells the kit in UK , on OverPay , for $550 . :eek: Then you need the MGB steering arms . One hole must be hogged out , not a direct bolt up , but close . Arms are going for about $100 . Then spacer washers to be used on one mount hole per steering arm .

Maybe this will help. Here are some pictures of a MG rack on a converted Alpine X member. I have had one stock car and a similar Tiger X member conversion on my current driver.

Sold post remains for general info.

Thanks Warren. Didn't catch the post on this thread. I'm pretty sure (I found the original invoice) that states MG Midget rack with arms as the line item.

Now to unload it :)

Thanks again for the follow up.
