After seeing dat383s Gemini rack and pinion set up (bloody nice) I thought I'd do a search for info on rack and pinion steering setups for 1200s and cant find anything...
SO:
I really want to run a rack and pinion setup in my 1200 for a few reasons;
for improved steering feel and better turn ratio.
more space in the engine bay, relocating the rack and cleaning up the look of the engine bay (personally I think the old box looks real ugly)

I know the standard 1200 setup is pretty good but if there is a easy(ish) option I'll do it (I don't expect it to be easy but I don't think its worth $1000s and extensive engineering). Is there any other setups people have used? I think a toyota starlet or AE86 rack would be pretty close...
If possible I'd like to keep the rack behind (on the firewall side) the cross member as my sump is winged on the front and it will save me swapping the struts over.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
