Curious,
What has been the fix to these racks to make them reliable, if any?? I have a
TVR buddy that has an Argentine Quik Rack an would be interested in learning
about any successful fix(s), outside of tossing this brand new rack he acquired
a few years ago.
Helping a friend,

All the racks sold by MOSS are made in Argentina - the only rack produced in
the UK for the TR is made for TR Enterprises and has a solid billet casing, so
instantly recognisable.
Putting the Argentinian rack in a bag with a sticker that says 'product of the
U.K.' Is surely just a dodge to mask the source and to hoodwink people into
thinking that it's a different product. That's simply scandalous.

There were a large number of failures of these racks in the UK on both road and
competition cars. For MOSS to say that there was only one is simply untrue.
I personally had TWO failures of brand new racks about 18 months apart. Both of
these failures involved the pinion housing separating from the rack tube at
high speed in very dangerous circumstances.
I would NOT recommend the use of a MOSS rack to anyone, whether for road or
competition use because the manufacturing quality is poor and the material
quality is similarly inadequate. The information that I was given at a meeting
face to face with MOSS in london have me the impression that some testing had
been done, but the solution to the problem really had not been found (ie do the
job properly).
I now use a custom made rack which has a single piece pinion housing and rack
tube made from billet aluminium. These are being made in the UK. I will never
use a steering rack supplied by MOSS again.
