[Fot] Reproduction Steering Racks

[Allen Washatko]

FoT,

I bought a Moss quick ratio steering rack for my TR6 in 2007. 20  
minutes after installing it, I heard a metallic sound and then parts  
landing on the floor of the garage. Upon inspection I found that the  
cap/grease plug and spring had released themselves from the rack &  
pinion housing! I quickly returned the rack to Moss with a full  
explanation of what happened. Still running the original rack.
