TVR Aluminium Steering rack Overhaul
Discussion
The landrover PAS is QVB101110 the one that fits our cars. There is need for a few modifications for it to fit properly. The britpart ones has a two year warranty.
The Threaded mounted holes have to drilled out to 8.5mm clearance hole. The lower mounting hole has to have part of the casing filled off to give room to get the machined bolt off.
The drive flange also have to be swapped over due to the differing thickness of the nose part.
I removed the reservoir to give it a good clean out, unfortantaly to get the thing out it has to come out the rad hole, but since the coolant was already dropped easy enough.
New hoses which as a b
h as they are a lot stiff then the originals but can be done.
Got a new high pressure hose to go on as well, the heat sheiding was from work which was going to be thrown out so rescued it last year and pleased i did.
The overhauled rack is in, I found a bit of rust in the corner of one of the front bars of the upper frame where all the coolant pipes are so, got rid of that with a wire brush and have hammerited the area. Its not pretty as its on top of the powder coat which is holding up nicely in that area, so an extra layer of protection is fine in my books.
New track rods and ends, Its got to be trailered to Topcats for its tracking so leaving the nut loose.
Hoses need terminating once the pump is back in, will be putting a magnafine filter on the return line, so waiting so see where to mount that first before committing to cutting the hose
Put my spare TV up so can have some tunes whilst working, and use my bike on the trainer.

I had assumed that I'd still be able to see Peters photos if I just clicked on them individually, and waited for the hideously ugly Photobucket page to load.
But NO! The Photobucket Ransom Demand seems to prevent that from working reliably as well.
However there is one solution that seems to work, you can use the slideshow function

Thanks again to Peter for the very informative thread
