steering rack internal bushes?

[tedtaylor]

Does anyone know where I can get the internal bushes on the ends of the tube on my steering rack for my '74 Lotus Seven S4? I believe the rack is Triumph Herald or GT6? The bush at the end of the tube on the steering rack disintegrated and i need to replace. Has anyone rebuilt theirs and can help or direct me to a parts source. Thanks!

maybe from Victoria British?

Ian,

great tip! thanks! VB actually had it in stock and i ordered online. Of course i'm hoping the Triumph GT6 steering rack is the steering rack i have in my Seven S4 as I've been told. We'll see soon when it arrives. wish me luck!

Unfortunately, the VB bush they sent is not correct for my application. Ended up making my own bush out of old shock absorber rubber mounts. Works perfectly now. Thanks all.
