Nick Jones Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Might just be a later repro?Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Borris Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I know you can get brand new racks for MGs, made in S. America (of all places!), didn't know you could get repro racks for Triumphs.What's the chances of the internals being the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Bit doubtful but you could take them to bits and look. It's not hard. Just keep the shims where they came from and watch out for the little locating dowel in the pinion bush 'cause it likes to jump out and hide.Why do you want to mix and match?Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Borris Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 The thinner bodied one of the two is fitted and has about a 1/2 inch of play around the straight ahead position, the fatter one will need the rack mounts modifying to fit and the ends chopped off.

Looked pretty much like the original, but wondering how long it's going to last nevertheless :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
