Hi Grant,

Can you help with the below, the car needs to be ready for the Jim Clark and it has develpoped a steering problem, (no jokes please) I think it's the rack itself and would like you guys to have a look at it and complete the work required. I put something on the forum entitled Quick rack for a classic - help required!!!

For the new rack and the uj call Grade A on 01663 744114, ask them to throw the newage uj in for free.

For the engineering work I went to direct engineering on 01505 333999 but have also used wesy of scotland engineering on 0141 339 6746 and found them to be good too so you could just use whoevers closest.

The newage uj has a longer shaft so they cut the column end off my old uj then chamfered the shaft of the shortened new age ones shaft, this was then slotted into a hole bored in the centre of the column uj and welded up.

Couple of pics of the modded part

If you could get back to me on 07800 697436 or on here to say if you can or cannot sort the car.

Cheers

I though that you were coming along Dougie...? And Arthur....?

I'm not long back also, but I took a detour past family... and Like you had some encounters of the muppet kind... And Audi A3 and a crappy little Pug boy racer thing full of kids.... both at the same time, on the same stretch of road.... but thankfully, it was twisty roads, they never stood a chance... although the A3 decided that it was rally bright to try and speed up whilst being overtaken... was verging on dangerous... :icon_butt:

Cracking day out today! :icon_salut:

Was on my way up with my mum and stepdad Dale but waited over 30 minutes at the bridge and weather wasnt too kind so went to Deep Sea World and came back home again.
