Is there a source for either rebuilt, or new steering racks? Tried Kiley Clinton in the UK, they are no longer able to rebuild or supply rebuilt units.
He still may be doing it ?Tom Hall was rebuilding them at one point?
That was Kiley Clinton. they made several batches priced at 640 BPS. but don't have any left and have no plans to make more. I sold one last year as well....I remember they made some years ago in UK and were thinking of doing LHD too but don't know the company used
$$Bill Martin was selling 'quick' racks and might have got some 'stock' ones in exchange ??
I just sold the 2 I had to Gord in Surrey a couple months back and one was good and the other needed work as it had 'slack' in it
I have Sprite/Midget rack in my car and am having some issues. I didn't have any issues really until my English build Midget rack wore out. The brand new replacement rack is so tight a fit, that binds when turn wheels to lock either direction. And, God fobid jack car up without at least taking front wheels off , or Tie rod ends, which will consequently break the inner tie rods. I unfortunately sold my very good factory rack to fellow Tiger owner in England who really needed one. I may need another one if can't get issues squared away? How much are you asking for a good rack? I was hoping to go to one of Dale's front ends but they are just too expensive now.I have a few used racks for sale. Thanks, Eric
