<p class="MsoNormal">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.

<div class="PlainText">News to me, I have been driving my Spitfire since 1973 when I bought it<br>
with well over 300 thousand miles on the original rack now without<br>
incident. And I have much larger tires and wheels (205/60-13) than the car<br>
was originally intended to have which would tend to put a heaver loading on<br>
the rack, as well as some competition use in the 70's. Steering it as<br>
tight as ever. Never heard of any other incident personally...<br>
<br>
<br>
*******************************original message****************************<br>
Recently called to my attention is an allegation by Moss Motors that a<br>
safety condition can exist with TR4 thru TR6 steering racks. Spitfire, too.<br>
They have designed a kit to correct the potential problem. <br>
<br>
I've been driving my TR4A 30 years and have never had the problem nor heard<br>
of it. The kits are 667-293 and 667-296. <br>
Kit Instructions were written in June 2015, so this is a recent discovery.<br>
<br>
What's the group's collective experience?<br>
