The rack on my S1 has excessive play - potentially an MOT failure. I''ve spoken to a couple of (very helpful) TVR spares sources who have said they will inspect it free of charge and see if they can rebuild it for me. Fine, but what happens if they can''t ?? Does anyone out there have a good secondhand rack? or any other ideas?

Thanks for all the feedback, I've spoken to Hennels and they will 'match it up for me' It will go there in a few days time. I'll let you know how it goes,

Well, my rack is with Hennels and they've sent it away to be matched. So far, we have found it isn't an escort rack.... I'll keep you posted ....

Back from hols. today, spoke to Hennels and they (or the factors) cannot match it and the old rack is being refurbished. Back today or tomorrow, they say. I'll post the price once it is back in my grubby mitts.

It was GBP 90 + VAT = GBP105.75 in total. Now fitted and tracking roughly set. Skinless custard puddings all over the countryside, now.
