Anyone know of alternative sources for inner tie rod assemblies - TR4/spitfire? Seems like the Roadster Factory is one possibility for rebuilt units, but they were out when I last checked and I didn't want to hassle with core charge/shipping of my bad ones. Moss is NLA.

I'm tidying up my TR4 front suspesnsion rebuild and found that my steering rack is in pretty bad shape. Looks like one of the tie rod boots at one time was torn so one tie rods is heavily corroded - explains the reason for most of the play I saw in my steering.

My TR4 uses a TR6 style rack, but with spitfire inner tie rods which are a little longer. From what it looks, these appear to be pretty hard to come by now for all models.

Any pointers to possible sources would be appreciated.
