Steering Rack Needed

Post by guru » Mon Oct 28, 2019 11:33 am

Just wondered if anyone has or knows where I can get a steering rack for my mk1c Sterling? The cars undergoing restoration at the moment and needs a replacement however this is proving hard to get!

I have a secondhand one James, it was working when removed and has been stored outside under cover since.

Any good to you?
Cheers,
Dave

I think I've found a refurbished one which should be on it's way now however if it's not the right one I'll take you up on that.

Parts were a little tricky to get when I started running the Sterling back in 2006 and the situation in 2019 is as expected a lot worse!

It came from an early Mk2 which if memory serves, uses the same rack as the Mk1c. All the racks for the Honda V6 engine tend to be fairly similar so you should be ok with the one you've got coming, unless it's for a non-Honda V6 powered 800.

Are you renewing the rack mounting rubbers at the same time?
