That would make sense as mine is the 17th Chimaera made, So its possible it was either a Griff rack or a very early manual rack. Any idea what part numbers they were ? . Many thanks for the reply

Not sure Daz hoping to get the other parts in the next couple of weeks but I will get 2 sets of spacers done to mount the rack so I have spares to do another. One question for you daz, does yours have power steering already or not. Mine doesnt and it has no way of powering the rack thats why Ive gone down the route of electric power steering pump. Also mine is a pre serp, it cant run a pump from the engine easily without changing too many things. from memory when I looked at your engine it had a serpentine drive belt.
Mine has power steering but the rack has internal damage caused by the company who originalt refurbished it .

I think we all know you want this doing Daz, If you give me chance to get mine done I might give you a hand getting yours done. You only live 20 minutes away from me mate, and I have a 4 post lift in my garage. Bear with me just sorting it all out.
You must be a really nice chap beer Daz has been angling for this from the start and even Peter "TVR Surrey" wasn't brave enough to take up the challenge eek Your 4 post lift may become quite busy if anyone else sees this.......hehe

If you stand on your head you can read the part number of the rack I bought Daz. New from ebay a few months ago (Ive been working abroad a lot hence why Ive not had chance to sort it)

Interesting that you can get a new rack for that cost.

At that price I would buy one and put it on the shelf.

The one I bought second hand was only £40 and I fitted it without having it overhauled, a sort of suck it and see. It works perfectly well and has’t any play in it at all which just goes to show that Japanese engineering is far superior then whatever TVR fitted to their cars!

Daz, can you put up the link to the rack that you bought so I can see exactly what it is.?

Weird? my last comment was sent last night then repeated today. Must be the Chinese hacking my messages again. As far as Im aware, and so far Daz that is the correct rack, However Ive not tried fitting it yet so it might not be , hence why I said wait a bit. lets hope it fits eh ! Ive ordered some new TVR arms and track rod ends to fit the Subaru rack today. Yours arms should fit from your TVR rack already as its a power steering rack. You will need the fixing brackets that bolt it to the existing bolt holes and the mounting rubbers.
