That is a great result all your hard work has paid off, hopefully I will not have to undertake a similar task soon. On to the next job on your S type now then.
Regards

Hi all,

Just to inform you that after the welding and pressing the new pins into the Tie_Rods the steering behavior is excellent.
The vague steering and wandering is now completely disappeared.
Yesterday the car is accepted for MOT.
So I'm a happy legal driver.

Ready for the next step (interior).

Regards,

Harrie

Yes, there are a couple of endorsements in this topic: http://jagstyperegister.com/forum_new/v ... 194&p=1533

Hi Glyn,

I known that several people advises to use the uprated version. But I bought already the standard ones.
I will try these first and can switch to the uprated versions in the future.

Regards,

Harrie

Very nice job. I fitted the uprated pins. Has anyone had them in long enough to evaluate if they are better. The standard items don't seem to last well.

That's a very neat job! Hope you don't have to take them out again too soon.

Hi all,

Just an update. My local machineshop created for me 2 nice sleeves.
Attached some pictures. I will weld the sleeves into the tie-rod-ends and press the new pins into it.
Hopefully the steering behavior will be improved. It's one of my latest point for MOT.

Regards,

Harrie

ps. I contacted Martin Robey about the tie-rod-ends. Unfortunately he can only deliver the RH version (same as SNG).

So it's a late run out car with Varamaric PAS. One would expect some commonality with the 420 but everything seems to have superseded to the same parts.

To save the hassle I think I would just fit new left & right tie rod end/drag links complete from Martin Robey as Orlando suggested.

It is pretty tight between the centre tie rod and the sump on the standard set up and I had to do a bit of wriggling to get mine back into position. If you create sleeves that are of sufficient diameter to allow the pins to slide fully into the tie-rod ends, that will allow you maximum clearance.

Moving the steering from one side to the other gives you a bit more space to insert the pins.
