Hi,
Working on a customers S2 with a manual rack. It was converted from LHD. Checking the steering rack and found that on the passenger side the Tie rod end socket and spring were missing, along with the lock tab. I checked the drivers side and they were present but the socket was small and nylon and the spring smaller than standard (I had a spare from a 67 manual rack). Also, my old lock tab from the 67 has a larger diameter. than this rack.
Would I be looking at an aftermarket non standard replacement? Any clues on who were supplying them so I can look for spare parts. I can send images for id.
Many Thanks
Eddie Cross

Many thanks Steve.
Kiley was really helpful. I am going to forward some images to him to help ID it to supply spares. Worst case he has a new RHD drive rack.
Regards
Eddie
