[TR] Moss Steering Rack Security Mount

[marty]

Real problem. Racks have come apart in competition. The issue is with the aftermarket quick racks manufactured in Argentina sold by various sources. Factory racks should be fine.

News to me, I have been driving my Spitfire since 1973 when I bought it
with well over 300 thousand miles on the original rack now without
incident.  And I have much larger tires and wheels (205/60-13) than the car
was originally intended to have which would tend to put a heaver loading on
the rack, as well as some competition use in the 70's.  Steering it as
tight as ever.  Never heard of any other incident personally...


*******************************original message****************************
Recently called to my attention is an allegation by Moss Motors that a
safety condition can exist with TR4 thru TR6 steering racks. Spitfire, too.
 They have designed a kit to correct the potential problem.

I've been driving my TR4A 30 years and have never had the problem nor heard
of it.  The kits are 667-293 and 667-296.
Kit Instructions were written in June 2015, so this is a recent discovery.

What's the group's collective experience?
