Steering rack

[S2Mick]

Hi all, looking for some advice on a steering rack issue.
Pulled her apart no probs but as the end rod came out of it's housing (I believe it's known as a drumstick) the small nylon bush came out in bits.
The spring is there no probs but it's looking like a 3D printer job or some microsurgery with superglue.
Anyone know where I can get replacements ?

They have cropped up frequently on here over the years and people seem to have been happy with the service.

Or Lawfield Engineering up at the old factory.

Just wanted to add a postscript to this thread by thanking those who contributed and to "big up" Roger at Kiley-Clinton.
The parts I was after for the rack are available but are now manufactured from phosphor bronze, an upgrade they use in their competition racks.
A simple photograph and conversation later and they'll be on their way to me shortly although I'll probably use them for a couple of new UJs as well, the old ones are sat in a tub of diesel in the shed in an attempt to loosen them up but I fear it will ultimately be in vain.

There's only one place for those seized UJ's
