Been suffering with a bad shoulder and long term was considering power steering conversions from the likes of Light steer.
I saw a thread on some forum or other, that rack and pinion steering would give similar results and give more positive steering.
Is there a company out there doing a rack and pinion system for a late bay? and would this actually be as good as power steering ?

i think baysearcher off the late bay had some sort of conversion done by fellowes but had a lot of grief getting it sorted, the other option is a red9 beam which will help your problem but it isn't cheap

There are a handful of experimental rack and pinion bays, but nobody has come up with an elegant solution worth offering on the market. The litesteer is very good though. I tried and failed to fault one I had a drive in.

I have seen the Light steer video.... it looked almost too good to be true!

your steering box still needs to be in good order though.

Im planning on getting a Litesteer in the next year or so..
I'm a bit concerned about the stresses being put on the steering components though, especially if you're turning the wheels when you're stationery.
I know that the obvious answer is not to do that but I'd appreciate some advice

Not me, too lazy - I'd rather heave the wheel.

Is this your equivalent to 42 in the Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy?

The ultimate would be red9 beam and litesteer, but it'd be very expensive. If your steering box is good then go litesteer. If you have issues with the box go red9 and add power steering later if it isn't enough. The red9 beam is makes it very light on its own.

From looking on their site, I didn't realise that they did one to fit a late bay.

One fit young (ish ) man's light might not be a bloke with a dodgy shoulder's solution. You could also approach it the other way. Fit the lightsteer to save your arms, then the Red9 beam if you felt the need to tighten things up?

Pump the front tyres up some more. Think i've said this before but it's the only workout I get.
