rack bushes

[honourablepickle]

has any one any idea what the steering rack bushes are off ?
infact has any one any idea if the rack is off some thing else or is it a rebuild only job
thanks in advance

for anyone who is interested i'm about a third of the way through fixing up the V8 I aquired 2mths ago
about 100hrs of labour and £500 so far
car is very simple to work on and the chassis is rust free
it seems to have spent most of it's life in bits after a previous owner crashed it and wrecked the bonnet hence no nasty rust on the tubes etc - some one went to the effort of painting the chassis a long time ago which was helpful
has any one here come across this car before ?

You mean like this one...? (3rd Pic)

I had some made when mine failed the MOT last year..!

The spares were given to David Batty. Give him a call, tell him I told you so, hopefully he still has one..!

If not I can forward the drawing for you to get some made...

NO, AFAIK you cannot buy them off the shelf, the rack came from a Chavette I think..
