Looking Chim PAS parts please

[davidindevon]

The steering column UJ's and connecting shaft for PAS cars are different to the non PAS cars.
Does anyone have the PAS UJ's and shaft please or know of the whereabouts of them.
Alternatively any good breakers that don't charge an arm and a leg.
Thanks

It's not worth putting used parts on the car. try www.TVRcarparts

I think the u.j would be easy enough to get hold of new the problem is going to be the shaft and I doubt a breaker would sell you one without the rack as they go as a kit for a lot of money and thats if you can find one. (I have just got one after six months of searching). However a guy on ebay sold a rack a couple of months ago and then the pump a few weeks later luckly I saved the item and the guys name in my ebay so if you wanted to send him a message to see if he still had the shaft I still have the details.

Hello Vrover8,
Thanks for the reply.
Ok I can probably find the UJ's somewhere without too much problem.
However, I do need the shaft as they are specific to the PAS.
So if you can let me know the ebayers details please and I'll follow it up.
Can you PM me rather than posting on the forum or alternatively mob [phone] to-morrow. Off to sleep now zzzz
Thanks

If you get stuck a local engineering shop with a broaching machine could knock one up.

HRG... 30,000 posts in 2 years ! ! ! Are you on speed?

I don't know what a broaching machine is. Some thing that makes brooches?

Ok I'm sure an engineer shop would know, but I would need an original PAS shaft for them to copy surely. Also the cost would probably be prohibitive. I'm trying to avoid too much expense and therefore my only option is to find an existing shaft.
Thank you for the suggestion though, I will consider all options.
Best regards,

That's four years if you don't mind

Either way if you get stuck an engineering shop could help. Which shaft is longer? If the non PAS one is longer you could get it shortened...

Any local griff/chim boys that could whip one off for you for a pattern?
You could get the splines sizes from the knuckles that you will need to buy then all you should need is the length of the shaft.
If you ring round any TVR dealer who happens to be servicing said cars they should be able to give you the info you need.

When I put PAS on my car I got my new uj and lower steering rod from TVRCarparts (at the time they were still a TVR stock item which was just before the factory melt down).
I believe Multipart now hold the factory stock of spare parts, so if TVRCarparts can't help you, then you could give Multipart a call.

Apologies HRG !
Hi Iain, Animal and Bluebottle... Yeah I think that's the part but although they are listed I've spoken to Racing G and Carparts but they don't have them in stock - and it's unlikely to be stocked!

I've got a couple of other leads which two people have given me which I'm waiting for a response on but I'll also try Multipart aswell.

Thanks all.

Hi David, I think I might have the solution to the parts you require. Firstly you need to get on the phone to a Land Rover breakers and buy a power steering pump and reservoir off of a 3.9 Range Rover or Discovery, serp or non serp depending which your is and ask for the pipework as well. Then you might be able to make the pipework up from the Land Rover hoses. You will need
1 return hose 1/2" 1200mm long
1 return hose 5/8" 560mm long
1 return hose 5/8" 100mm long
and hope fully the little metal u bend will come with the pump (photo 2) You might be lucky and the high pressure hose off the Land Rover will fit, if not take the pump and rack to a hydraulic specialist and have a pipe made up to go between the two at 1 meter long the Tvr end uses a banjo fitting.
The top u.j is the same as you already have the bottom one I think is part no. H0359 and I think is still avalible.
The two shafts are identical except the power steering one is 60mm shorter. If you take your shaft to a profesional welding company they will be able to cut 60mm out of your shaft and reweld it together again it sounds drastic but wont be a problem to a coded welder but make sure they get the two flats on the splines parallel. Whilst you are there get them to make the reservoir braket out of 2mm plate (photo 3) I shall post a drawing in a minute it also needs a 90mm jubilee clip to hold the reservoir to the braket. Hope this is of some help. jamie
