Those of you with Series 1 and early Series 2 Lotus Elises will no doubt be familiar with the perennial steering rack problem.
Check with any Lotus dealer and they will quote at least £312 plus VAT for a complete rack, when all most of us need is a tie rod and a couple of Delrin shoes, although these components alone are seemingly impossible to buy from a Lotus dealer.
I have some good news. If you contact Titan (the makers of the steering racks) they will supply the precise bits you need. There is a minimum charge of £25, but that will buy you a tie rod and the shoes. You can also buy a complete rack for £289.00 plus VAT, and Titan also offer a refurbishment service. Needless to say, they also supply ‘quick’ racks for track use.
In these days of expensive, disposable car parts, what a refreshing change to find a company that will supply you parts to enable a REPAIR rather than simply fob you off with a new unit.
You will find all the contact details here.
