We own the blue G20 GTC that was built by Spadge.

As ever with these things bits wear out and it's not always obvious what vehicle they originated from. As is our problem at the moment.

Anyone know the part number for the track rod end for these cars? Or what their original application was?

Many thanks.

I recently replaced track rod ends on a Dare G4, they were from classic Mini, but they have been shortened and then extended with a threaded bar, maybe it is the same on G20?

Thanks for that. We'll look into that as a possibility.

This is an image of what I mean:



The first one is what I found installed on my car: it is a standard classic mini track rod end, that has been shortened and then extended with a bespoke adaptor.
The second one is the same, but in original state: since it is painted in black after assembling, it looks like a single piece, so I wrongly searched for a longer mini.
The third one is a long threaded classic mini rod end, it was used on coopers to allow for more negative camber...
