Steering Rack Security Mount Kit - Spitfire

One unfortunate design aspect of the rack & pinion steering unit in the TR4-6 is that while the rack tube is mounted to the chassis, the pinion housing is not. Because of this, in certain circumstances it is possible for the joint between the pinion housing and rack tube to become loose, and impact your ability to control the vehicle.

As a safety measure, we have created the Steering Rack Security Mount. The specially-designed upper mounting block surrounds the flange cast into the pinion housing. If the joint begins to fail, the flange is held by the Security Mount, allowing you to maintain control of the vehicle until you can get yourself, your passengers and your vehicle to safety.

The Steering Rack Security Mount is available either as a Full Kit, or an Half Kit. The Full Kit is for vehicles that do not have solid rack mounts already in place. The Half Kit is for vehicles that have existing solid rack mounts.

Note: The security mount is intended as a one-time-use device that may, in the event that the steering rack begins to separate, help you keep control of the vehicle. It is not intended to repair a loose or separated steering rack. If your steering rack has begun to separate, it must be replaced. This product does not strengthen the joint. You must continue to occasionally inspect the steering rack after the security mount has been installed.
