Default Rack & Pinion Steering for 1947 Ford

My old ford now goes to the right, when I turn left and vice versa.


I'll tell you how this came about. My steering box had gobs of slop in it even after adjusting it. So my good friend suggested we just put a Mustang rack & pinion in it. So we did.


The problem turned out to be the Mustang unit was designed to bolt on in front of the crossmember and due to the traverse front spring we could not mount it in the front so we mounted it in the rear.



The question is; has any of the readers successfully put in a rack and pinion steering in a 46 to 48 Ford, and what rack and pinion unit did they use?


Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Any help would be much appreciated!
