Restoring my 72 MGB and am presently rebuilding the front suspension and braking systems. Looking at the rack today and I found this video really helpful. Great explanation on how it works complete with a look at the parts that comprise it. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and post it!
Thank you for the accurate detailing in this subject. Before there was, before i found you, one video on the rack pinion. Seems i have some items i need to recheck for safety. Having some side to side wheel movement in my new rack, when car up and wiggle the wheels! Then wondering if should be all tight, the whole rack, thank you.
interesting thx, never disassembled a steering rack. Always nice to see what products other people use. For suspension parts like that subframe I use Brantho Korrux. The DS3000 is good for track use, but bad for road use and not very effective when they are cold? I think MOT in our country doesn't like braided hoses because there is not a visual check possible if the hoses are cracked or not. On a standard rubber hose you can see immediately if they are decayed or not. Just a guess
I dosnt end up doing it, cause from the last video i was gonna do the rack and pinion but i sold it instead...it was just to unreliable,and needed a new gearbox So i bought a VY holden commodore..its basicly and aussie made pontiac G8
Nice job ! My 67 MGB GT steering rack is leaking both sides , and my gaiters are plenty with oil...Is it possible to fix that sort of problem ? I would like to keep the original , and don't buy a repro... Kind regards !
This is a great video. However, the MG parts online shop does not have those inner springs for sales. They want you to buy the whole assembly. Do you have the dimension of those springs? So I can find it in some other place. Thank you!
Disappointed you didn't overhaul the brake calipers, especially if you taking the car to the race track. WD-40 and paint are not good for the rubber piston dust covers!
Schitterend werkje, beetje vuil in het begin, maar het resultaat is fantastisch. Btw, deze verf ken ik nog niet, maar het ziet er iets heel degelijks uit.
This is a fun channel - I like the way he shows and explains all the little details ... great to watch with a cup of coffee in hand!!!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic explanation on rack and pinion (fix or rebuild)
Great viewing over breakfast! I did not realise how simple the steering mechanism is in both function and adjustment. Thanks for that!
Glad it was helpful!
I am always impressed with your extensive knowledge of almost everything!

Not only is your knowledge exceptional - your English is excellent!
Thank you for the very helpful videos.
I am rebuilding my steering rack and your demonstration was a great help in understanding what to check and especially about the shimming. Thank you.
You are welcome!

Maybe using paint remover first would’ve made it easier? Great job as always! Thank you.

Steve, Great video! I noticed that the brake caliper is not centered over the brake disc!👍🏁
How many oil i need to out it please. I recorn mine today. And not sure how many oil to put in. Thanks for video its 👍😉
What about the cracks in the welds of the square pads?
Cracks, where did you see those ? Can you tell me where in the video time-line that you saw that ? Thanks you
@@D3Sshooter The square pads on the top, at the ends of the cross member, where they meet the stamping. I could be wrong.

where did you find the new spring? I need it for the steering rack of the old mini but I can't find the overhaul kit

Thanks for the comments, O will need check and come back to you
@@D3Sshooter Thank you! I like your video very much.
if the bleed screws were opened a bit...
Get some knee protection !!

Brent, they were in a good condition ... rubbers were having vaseline ( acid less on them) before spraying.... WD40 was to get the dirt off
