Default mini steering rack

hi just a note to anyone on the track as me. i was looking through my spares and found a mini steering rack, it was only about 1" too long so i shortened it, fitted it, noked some extentions up, butifull. jump in and lets give it a try i thought, holly S*^"t this thing steers the wrong way, its because the pinion is in the wrong position, so really just a note to say DONT USE A MINI STEERING RACK it doesnt work, cheers

I remember when I worked for a corporate hospitality company we had a reverse steer car as one of the events, I got quite good at it to the point I was the only one that would drive it on to the trailer.

Wouldn’t like to do more than 10mph though
