R&P with Granada disc conversion

[65Rob]

I'm planning on switching to a power rack at some point in this build. I did the Granada disc brake change a long while back and seem to recall having to use different length tie rods. Is this something that needs to be taken into consideration with the r&p setup or do they have enough adjustment in them?

Sorry for the all the ignorant questions but it's my specialty

it is something you need to consider. try to find a rack that has as close to the same length from tie rod end to tie rod end as your drag link does. that will keep your steering geometry close enough that you can adjust the toe properly. you also want to make sure the steering arms on the rack are about the same length as the ones that connect to the drag link as well. again that will help to keep your steering geometry as close to original as possible. if you dont, you can wind up with a severe case of bump steer.

if you want to swap to rack and pinion steering, go with one of the many kits available that are properly engineered.

I was going to go with the TCP rack or the Randall. I haven't checked into it much, mostly the planning stage. I would like to think they have something for that application, the Grenada swap is pretty common I thought?

let them know what spindles you are using, and they can suggest what tie rod ends you need
