Rack and pinion on a buggy
I am planning on taking the buggy apart to modify my gas tank for fuel injection. While contemplating this I also started to think about how I would
accommodate a front mount radiator. The problem with the radiator up front is the angle o the steering box which puts it right in the way of the
radiator. So then naturally I started thinking about rack and pinion steering. Has anyone done this with good results still retaining the stock gas
tank? Pictures or a build thread would be awesome. Thanks

What did you break exactly and what were you doing to break it?
Did you have any photos of the damage?
I ask as I am running the same rack.
