After installing the new steering arms, the steering effort was lower but the wheels did not turn as much with each revolution of the steering wheel. I wasn't too concerned until I took the car for a drive and realized that some hard back and forth on the steering wheel didn't result in a lot of lateral movement of the car. I considered changing to a quicker ratio steering rack but the MGB-GT rack is already only 2 turns lock to lock and only dedicated racing (read-expensive) racks are quicker. My solution was to add an Afco 2:1 steering quickener. It is basically a gearbox that takes one turn of the input shaft and changes it to two turns of the output shaft. Here is a picture of it installed between the steering wheel and rack and pinion with video link just below the pic:
