I've had an MOT advisory of slight play in the steering rack inner arm bush. Presuming I'm correct in thinking this is a standard Spitfire rack I've looked through the Moss & Rimmer sites for parts and any options. It appears it is likely to need a new ball pin and socket, all seems pretty straight forward.

However seeing they also offer new quick racks giving 2.5 turns lock to lock rather than a standard 3.5 turns made me think whether or not this may be a good option - bearing in mind the car is primarily road use but I will compete in this years TVR Sprint & Hillclimb challenge.

Any one running a quick rack on their Vixen and if so how does it affect driveability on road and track?

I shall also send my unit to Adrian@ to rebuild it so I know I'm getting my actual unit back all working correctly. Hopefully should last another 45 years.

Thanks for that Andy. I just knew it was the right decision but worth hearing it from you having been there and tried it.

Dave at Maniflow was a really good chap. Very pleased with what he's done - manifold looks great and 2" bore should see flow improvement. He also made a new mid section pipe & box as the existing was only 1 3/4". I'm well pleased.
