Hi fellas,

Been a few years since I've posted on here I hope you're all well? I've had the TVR off the road for 2 years and I'm currently gathering a list of parts together to get it through the MOT!

After trawling through the useful links, parts websites and using the search function on the forum I'm still stumped and missing one part. My mechanic has asked me to get hold of a NEAR SIDE FRONT steering rack arm. Can anyone provide a link to a part that's suitable or provide a part number?

Many thanks in advance.

Karl

Unless you hit lucky and someone has one (don't think they are handed?) I'd give Kiley Clinton a call.

I could have the wrong company but I think someone said they're a bit "old school" and not very email "savvy".... better to phone?


They do however know about TVR steering racks, I think the bit you need is Ford (heard it quoted as Lotus, but they probably used Ford parts, just sounds posh), TVR screwed it into a Vauxhall Chevette rack body

Maffe,
You need to enclose a stamped addressed envelope with a 2 SKr postage stamp when you email them.
They are very good old skool engineers though. smile
