3A Front End

[cb750]

Series 3A. I know the steering column is Sierra but what model is the steering rack that Robin Hood supplied? Also what model are the track control arms - are these Sierra?

 

The shaft that connects the column and rack is one that looks like it was supplied from Robin Hood, this has a threaded portion in the middle for initial adjustment and has been welded to fix the length. Although this has lasted I don't like the idea of it and am going to replace it. It looks like the lower joint at the rack end is the fibre disc type, do you normally replace this with the universal joint type?

Sierra rack from the donor is used

S3 used the Sierra anti roll bar, Sierra track rods and therefore had the standard Sierra front track width.

The steering extension on my S3a had the extended shaft with a bearing built in so I have a UJ near the steering rack and one near the bulkhead

Thanks Paul, off on holiday now. Will PM you when I get back about the extended shaft with bearing if that's OK.
