    Me again... Mot also suggested that the steering rack was notchy .....the rack is now out and it seems worse on the bench than it did in the car !!... So she will get a new rack.... Triumph Herald I believe

    rear wishbone bushes on order from GH....plus new set of flex brake hoses on order from HEL..

    also rubber boots gone on the track rod ends... The number of the rod end is TR7357B...are these MGB ??....I await the Oracles reply.....thanks CJ in advance !!

    It's ok, Guy's ownership is a lot longer than mine.

    I read some debate the other day on Ferrarichat, as to whether a Ferrari 308's OE track rod ends were BMC or not.
    Maybe british car parts aren't so out of place on an Italian car?
    I know that a Lamborghini Miura uses a Lucas windscreen wiper motor, rack and wheelbox.

    ...thereby ensuring you can never take them out in the rain, helping to keep the rust at bay...yep, I'm going for the Cynic Of The Year Award

    Rimmer do a quick rack for Spitfire/Herald. They used to advertise it as uprated and suitable for competition use, then they backtracked and wrote to everybody who had bought one saying it was only the ratio that had changed and they couldn't support motorsport use and offered a contribution towards a suitable replacement. I am unaware of any such thing other than a custom made jobby.
