Right Hand Drive Steering Rack? - RobScott - 22 Mar 2019

Hi guys and girls.

I'm thinking, I might convert my Delorean to RHD,

What racks are suitable?

Cheers

The original right handers all have lengthened Esprit racks. Get hold of one and have the bar and tube lengthened OR graft in the tube for the left hand rack spun around. The tricky bit is the pinion housing which is cast onto the tube and the Esprit pinion is longer.

Have you got sorted with the rack yet. I converted mine in 2010 and have covered 20000 miles with no problems.
