Is there someone out there who can tell me from which car the power steering unit is from on a 1990/1991 RHD 400/430 model.
The same question for the sqaure headlamps and track rod ends.
Thanks.

I think the power steering pump is off a Rover SD1 with a Cortina Mk5 Steering rack, The track rod ends are Mk2 Ford Granada, and I'm not sure but I thnk the square headlamps are Austin Allegro.

There have been at least five different PAS racks used on these cars and the track rod ends are different. Yes the manual cars do use these and the Cortina rack cars (actually very few made) use them but the others don't.

The racks have come from Rover and then been modified some. The last two I have had ended up being custom made as a result from a big bag of bits. Another case of take off and match I'm afraid. Alternatively get them from TVR and save the hassle.
