steering track rod ends V8S

[feithv8s]

I have to replace the left steering track rod end of my V8S, as the rubber on the ball is getting to its end.
I guess they are the same for all S types.
Original parts are not easy to get in Holland.

So, on which ´normal´ cars were the also fitted?

Thanks YB,

But H0068 is an original TVR number and difficult to get in Holland.

I don´t thinks they were specially made for TVR.
Was looking for other marks.

feithV8s, sorry about that I had the top ball joint in mind.

Try Andy at APM on [phone] he refubished HarryW's V8s rack last year, including new trackrod ends, he might be able to suggest a non TVR replacement.

Steve Heath in a previous thread stated:-
"..They are about the same price as for normal rod ends so why the deperate desire to waste a lot of time searching for an alternative source that could well be a lot more expensive? And then turn out to be the wrong part?.."

Hope this helps.

Certainly did, and for not a lot of pennies either . Andy uses a local man to himself to rebuild/overhaul the rack itself, including new track rod ends it came to under £90/100 all in IIRC.

I have just had a reconditioned rack and new track rod ends fron them, they will ship them to you.

They told they where original equpment of a vauxhall viva so difficult to source anyway.
