Can anyone help, I'm looking to get some parts on line, does anyone know of a site. I'm sure I've seen an advert on here for on line parts but can't seem to find it know. I am after some new steering gaiters for my Griffith.
Thanks!

Thanks thats who I was thinking of, but to no avail as the gaitors are not listed. If I went into Halfords would I be asking for some Ford ones??

BB - I don't think the steering rack is on the dashboard on Griffs!

Anjago - try phoning TMS, they've probably got them.

Quickly followed by.................. another trip to the dealers after he sold me the wrong ones, not best pleased as it was a 50 mile round trip. After spending loadsa time on nuts that hadn't been turned for 12 years and finding clips holding the gaitors on were totally inaccessible, obviously put on before the rack was bolted to the car, was ever so slightly miffed as I was only a few minutes of finishing the job!

Mine had to have a gaiter replaced for MOT this year. The (non-TVR) garage had no problems sourcing it locally and no mention of difficulty. New one held on by cable tie-straps. No problem.
