Hi all, anyone know what the steering gaiters & track rod ends for a non assisted Chimaera are off ?. I bought 1 of each off a specialist recently ,which is fine but he may have bumped the price up a little & the postage was eye popping ,I want to get the same again for the other side to keep everything looking just so but thought maybe I could source the parts locally.
Thanks in advance...........Andy

I can't help with original fittings, but my god do I sympathise with the extortionate postage costs lumped on by every TVR parts supplier.
6.95 postage for a set of headlamp adjusters makes me angry!

Unfortunately that's just what it costs to send anything with a tracked service. I work for a company with a mail order department. We charge £7 plus VAT for everything and it all goes via DPD courier. It's no cheaper to use RMSD and we can't trust untracked RM.

I fit steering rack gaiters made by Bailcast and available at various outlets. They are the stretchy type made of neoprene rather than pure rubber so last a long time.

The rack kit should be available from eBay for under £10 or so.

Thanks for that, still need to trace a track rod, how different can they all be when you think about it.??
