One issue that has come up with Greenie that I haven't addressd is that he aparantly is missing his steering stops -- in other words, I can turn the wheel farther at the extremes. I've known this for a while, but since the car doesn't have them, I'm not exactly sure where they go or what they look like! Can anyone provide guidance either in the form of a photograph or a potential source to get them? I can't seem to find them in the Moss catalog, but then again, I'm not entirely sure what they'll look like on a TR as opposed to my Healey.

Thanks as always! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
On the TR3A front suspension, they are screwed onto a flat portion to the rear (inside) of the trunnions. There should be a threaded hole. The stops are circular discs about 3/4" diameter with a hole off-center. They measure about 1/4" thick and are made of steel. Before you bolt them on tightly, you can rotate them eccentrically to get the stop at the right place.

Maybe it is the same for the TR4.
