How was your right hand conversion done? Is it still an original servo? They can be rebuilt but a newie from delorean.com is cheaper.

Thanks - I was asking because during the right hand conversion, the servo might have been swapped for something else (Chris Harding for example has used a setup from a rover on his own car which natively shifts the mechanism over, so was simpler than engineering the original servo into position).
If you have an original servo and is definitely kaput, then your cheapest option is a new original unit from delorean.com.Check the vacuum feed to it is working though.
Ref the steering rack - the original wooler hodec method was to modify an Esprit rack with a longer bar, made specially. We've gone down that route. It's actually illegal to weld steering components.
