track rods - identify

[srdtvr]

I need to replace both track rods and want to ask what they came from originally ?
I have an early Chimaera without power steering - I suspect they may be ford?
Just hoping to get a part number so I can go to All Parts and get them over the counter ?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Stolen from elsewhere..

Track rod end - Mk2 Escort/Cortina Mk 3/4/5 - £5.72 exc. VAT
Motaquip #VTR151
Q/H #QR1384S
Unipart #GSJ388
Federal-Mogul (Moog) #FD-ES-0334

This is always good, but lists no track rod ends..

Thanks spaceman that's what I need
Perfect
Yeah have checked before but no track rods listed
You can get them from Tvr parts but over 21 quid plus postage
Thanks again

I've only stolen the info, never bought them myself so don't blame me if they're wrong

I looked at a couple of photos and they looked right though, they came from the page that supplied a lot of info to the chimaera pages alternative parts list.

slight miss understanding - I'm looking for the track rods not the track rod ends ?
Inner track rod that goes through gaiter into rack
Any part numbers anyone ?
Cheers

I don't think you'll pick them up from your local "Motor Factor" ?

might be worth talking to these guys.

Where can you get them at that price?
My local factors want £7 odd plus VAT.

yep I can as I wasn't ready to pay for the TVR name on the invoice. The 295mm ties are from a Granada and the 330mm ties are from a Ford panel van part number ss735 I paid 9 quid this morning rod ends are ford Granada six quid but you will have to compare those as mine were on a race car and might be a tad more heavy duty but I dought it.
