I bought some new steering rack rubber mounts from a well known Ebay supplier - but I am pretty sure they are for a Triumph Spitfire, not a Marina. The Triumph rack is a couple of mm smaller in diameter so the mounts could be persuaded into use but I would prefer the real thing.
Has anyone else successfully acquired the correct mounts recently?
Cheers, Robin

The rubber D shaped ones? The club (David) has NOS Mk1 rubbers available, or Superflex do both Mk1 and Mk2 on types in polyurethane.

Re: Steering rack mounts
Thanks Matt
I should have done more research. I think I'll go for some Superflex ones. Hopefully they will fit better and be a bit firmer than those from Ebay.

Re: Steering rack mounts
Can anyone who has fitted the Superflex bushes comment on whether they improve steering "feel" or precision, and whether there is any noticable difference in noise, vibration, or harshness?

Re: Steering rack mounts
Did Leyland go to solid alloy mounts for the 025 Six? My factory manual shows rubber mounts for the earlier 024. Will have to have a look at what's actually there.
