ABSTRACT:
An end take-off rack and pinion steering gear assembly is converted into a center take-off rack and pinion steering gear assembly by attaching a U-shaped bracket to the opposite ends of the rack bar of the end take-off assembly. Steering linkage is connected to the base leg of the bracket extending parallel to the rack, at a point which is intermediate the ends of the bracket and which corresponds to the linkage attachment point on a center take-off assembly. The bracket length is adjustable to correspond to the length of the rack bar.
