Gene Wright from the Portland area made a few rack and pinion assemblies
for Model T steering conversion in the 1990's.
If someone has one that they would sell, please contact me.

I believe my brother has one that he bought for a speedster project and never used. His phone number is 503-956-1699. I tried calling George , but it went to voice mail. He lives in Gresham, Oregon.

Thank you for your quick response Ted.
I spoke to them briefly, but they were driving.
We will talk further this evening.

I want to thank Ted, George and the MTFCA for helping make my
Model T Depot Hack safer for my wife to drive while I am experiencing
issues with my vision.

How about posting a picture of it. I’m not sure if I ever saw one.
