Phil M Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi, I'm in the process or replacing the dash crash pads and renovating the dash, gauges etc on my 72 CP, when I start to instal the steering column I find my steering 'upper tie rod' is missing. Rimmer's ( Cat No:622137) and Moss no longer supply these, has any one else come across this and can either advise where I can get one or have the dimension so I can make one. Many Thanks Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeanF Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 This tie rod is not fitted to cars with a steering lock on the column. Mine does not have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 This tie rod is not fitted to cars with a steering lock on the column. Mine does not have it. The upper one is its the lower one that gets replaced with the torque strap on steering lock equipped cars. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeanF Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) The upper one is its the lower one that gets replaced with the torque strap on steering lock equipped cars. Stuart. Thanks Stuart. That's interesting because my 74 didn't have one and the Rimmer's website says Upper Tie Rod - 622137 Qty Req-1, Model-Models Without Steering Locks I'll have to try to find one for mine. Where does it attach at the top? Cheers Edited September 14, 2018 by SeanF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colin3511 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I have to agree with SeanF. I don't think the later cars had them fitted. Complete 3 rebuilds and none of them had that strap. Always happy to be wrong! Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
