Guys, a bit of help please.

I converted my previous TVR Chimaera from a worn TVR PS rack, (as spares aren't available) to a Subaru Classic rack.

Another TVR guy supplied me with a kit of parts and all was good. That was a few years back.

I'm now after preferably a new or very good condition rack to convert my current Chimaera as before.

My problem is, what's a "classic" rack, I have no idea what model that is!

I have an old one with a bit of play in it but can you guys identify or point me to the correct one?

I need the mounting brackets and the Polybush type mounting rubbers as well.

All help or knowledge of source gratefully appreciated.

Hi,

the classic version is any made before the Bugeye smileso thats anything before 2000 ( although i think some bugeyes may be 1999..)
hope that helps.

Try looking on Scoobynet for parts. i've used a guy called Matty RB developments i think?? and he's been great, even chucking in a few extra bits for me.

Thanks for that.
I'll give him a call and see what he has.

Otherwise, if any one has a good rack, please PM me.

all the racks up to blobeyes are backward are compatible across all models (although a change to the uj is required) so presumably will fit your TVR...the one you want is the 2.25 lock to lock, normally advertised as Fast racks for classics -which are rocking horse poo- your best would be a newage Spec C rack which will be easier to source and far newer. Regular racks are 2.8 iirc, with regular sti quick racks being 2.5.

Keep an eye out here, they come up regularly; http://bbs.22b.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?53-Priv...

Thanks for that Ian.

I sourced a S/H one which could be up and running this weekend.

I'll see what it is then.

it will be easy to swap to a different spec rack whenever.
