Thanks for the reply, I will source a die and try that first

Hi
After fitting a steering rack, the ball joint on one side gets hard to screw onto the tie rod, the lock nut goes on no problem and I can see the tie rod thread looks rough. Anyone know the tie rod thread size and what might be used to improve the thread condition

Hi Alun, 2 please, let me know how to arrange payment

Thanks for that Bish, but I now want to fit standard mounts, does anyone have any to sell or know where to buy, regards Terry

Hi all. I am changing the steering rack, but the solid rack u clamps need replacing as the threads are worn, does anyone know where to buy them. Regards Terry

Thanks for the reply’s, I think I will need to remove some of the chassis. Regards Terry.

Does anyone have a picture of the steering joints between the steering rack and the steering column shaft, and can this be fitted the wrong way round, as the nut on one of the bolts hits against the chassis. Regards Terry

Hi, I finally got around to removing the support plate and the hole has worn, so I am looking for a replacement. The bush was fitted from inside the car so I don’t know why it came out, and what would you use to seal it back on. Regards Terry

Hi all, the bush for the steering column shaft support pops out of the support plate occasionally. I have a polly bush from Chris Wittor fitted, which doesn’t take much effort to push back into the plate, do you think that the hole in the plate could be worn, and if so, where to source a replacement ...

Thanks for your replies, no relay fitted on main beam circuit, only on dipped beam. Regards Terry

forgot to say dolomite sprint 1978

Hi all, I have a fault with the main beam, side lights and dipped beam working, when i switch to main beam the dipped beam turns off and main beam does not come on, it all works if i flash the main beam. Regards Terry

probably should have said its a late sprint

my starter motor is failing, i need to replace it, and at the moment the club dont have any, where is the best place to buy one, or have mine reconditioned. Terry

Thanks Alun
