Hi
Can anyone please recommend a decent source of steering U/J's? according to the bible (small "b") they are TVR specific so I need a couple to start my list of jobs to get my car up to scratch.
This will no doubt be the first post of many newbie questions.....
Thanks,
Mark

You need the correct UJ`s.Different spline sizes..Make sure you have the steering column pulled down as far as possible because it can make it slack even when its bolted up. (dont forget to replace all the nuts bolts and washers)..

When you replace the top UJ (nearest the bulkhead), buy a generic track rod end gaiter from your local motor factor and slip this on the shaft before assembly.
Pack the UJ with grease and then cover it with the gaiter. Secure the 'open' end of the gaiter with a zip tie....and you'll never have 'notchy' feeling steering again.
The top UJ, sitting, as it does, behind the front wheel gets all the road dirt thrown at it. The gaiter prevents the bearings drying out/deteriorating.
