Robin Hood 2b Tie rod supplier?

[Tayto.King]

Hello, i've noticed a lot of play in the l/h tie rod on my 2b. It looks to have a joiner/extender in the middle & it's a sierra rack.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a new one to replace my old worn out one, thanks.

Post up a picture of it and someone will be able to identify it as you can imagine all sorts have been used/supplied with these kits.

Good idea, thanks.

Should be attached...

Not sure on the tie rod but the track rod end is Sierra

I am fairly certain that the extender is a robin hood part made out of surplus bits.

I always thought that this was to adapt a rover metro rack that richard stewart got a bulk surplus buy on.

Try Burton Power 

Are you wanting the tie rod drumstick or the track rod ends this page should give you both options.

I've already bought & tried a sierra tie rod, but it's way too long. The tie rod (silver section) is tiny in comparison to the sierra rod.

Are you sure it's a Sierra rack? Could be Escort or even Metro.

Not sure if it is sierra now. I've stripped it down and taken some more pice.

I'm with IanS - i was led to believe the racks were LHD metro racks flipped over??!!

the tie rod end is definitely sierra and the joiner as Ian says was a RH part. I personally didn't like the amount of play in the joiner so i had some longer ones made which tightened up better. I seem to remember the threads on the rack end got tighter the further up the threads, hence the need for longer joiners.
