So, from reading back threads on steering racks, it seems a good idea to replace the rubber bushings that hold the entire rack to the frame. Does...
I found tie rod end boots at Auto-Zone for $5.99 per pair. Perfect fit. The originals used an expandable metal ring to stay in place. These...
Update: I just checked the replacement steering rack I bought 16 years ago. IIRC, it came out of a 4000 mile 512TR that was being converted to RH...
That was 12 years ago. I haven't got a clue. Sorry.
Flawless performance, now over 67,000 miles.
I have some play in the steering now and I'm guessing it's the rack or the tie rod ends (67,000 miles, 1994 512TR). I have an extra rack if...
I have not checked yet, just enjoying the drive too much.
I've just passed 800 miles since the major and this car seems to be running well. And NO leaks (yet). I've noticed a little play in the steering...
I've just passed 800 phenomenal miles since the major and this car has never run so well. And NO leaks (yet). I've got a little play in the...

You are a wise man. I have one last frame-off restoration to complete, a 1970 Orbit Orange Pontiac GTO Judge convertible (Ram Air IV, 4-speed)....
I did not keep records of the time, so it's impossible to say. When I was in the middle of it, it seemed like forever, but now looking back it...
Thanks, Clyde, The new radiators do cool quicker, but not as dramatically as yours probably because I used the Evans waterless coolant. They are...
As far as I know, carpet sets are gone worldwide. The only option is to have all (?) 17 pieces custom made. Big bucks. Several years ago my...
I have an old dash from my 1994 512TR that I replaced when a better one became available. This has soft leather, but the fiberglass edge over the...
I replaced my original fans and radiators with new ones a few months ago during my major service. Both radiators and fans were functioning...
Luggage set is sold for sure this time. Thanks to all.
About 12 years ago I bought a bunch of parts from a garage that was converting a 512TR into a race car. One of the pieces that was carefully...
