[TR] close ratio steering

[Jerry Van Vlack]

Dave, You should ask Moss and BPNW your question but I believe it will not. The answer might be yes if you can confirm an early TR4 rack is the same PN as a late TR4 and a TR4A. I do recall hearing of failure of the close ratio racks as they were not “pinned” and the tube would loosen. I also seem to recall if the racks were made in Argentina that those were the ones which failed. You might try Googling TR4 Steering rack failures too.

British Parts Northwest sells a close ratio (2.5 turns lock to lock) steering rack for the TR4a – TR6

 

Moss Motors sells a close ratio (2.5 turns lock to lock) steering rack for the TR4 – TR6

 

I’m not sure that they are different.  I tend to buy from BPNW if I can.

 

Has anyone installed either product on a TR4?  Mine is CT9683; I’m wondering if it will fit.  FYI it is very TR3 in so many ways; I refer to it as a TR3 with roll up windows
