Theres an ex F1 titanium rack and pinion on racepartsdirect, 1.5 turns. just needs a lightweight ally housing made up and you could save a good few kilo's.
Its £95 iirc

Not really been much to update on for a while, as due to his Father passing away, my painter has been absent from work for a while.
But he's back now, and work has kicked off again. We've had a couple of days of prep work, and today it's all been masked up ready for paint;

Other developments include the acquisition of these (free!) carbon fibre Mini Miglia arches, which I plan to use as inner mudguards to replace the metal I removed previously;

And I've also been expirmenting with using the composite floor from a Mini Miglia to fill the big hole in the boot;

It's going to fit pretty well with some trimming, so I'm now having it made in the lightest weight carbon fibre, and it should be ready for next week.
If all goes to plan the painting will be done by the end of this week, and I can start re-assembly at the weekend.
There are plenty of other things holding me up already;
1. TTV Racing still haven't made my flywheel which was promised to me weeks ago
2. Sleaford Minis are still working on making me some brackets to mount my R1 front calipers (6 weeks+ on that one)
3. The alloy hinges for my composite doors were wrong first time around, and the guy who did them has now vanished, so I can't fit the doors
4. The new clutch didn't fit, and has had to be sent back for re-machining (apparently now in the post to me!)
If only you didn't have to rely on other people.......
I wonder why lolQuote:

Scared him off when I pointed out the 1.5 turbo BMW of the 80's was 1500bhp est. and materials etc have improved since then lolQuote:
