Steering knuckle joints.
Sean - 4/2/06 at 07:59 PM

I am re rooting my steering column which uses triumph spitfire parts. However, I need to source some parts. i.e the extension bar that sleeves inside the upper column ( the bit with the splines on it ) and a knuckes joint that will fit between this and the rest of the original part. In the end I hope to go from the column with a knuckle at the end, off at an angle of about 25 degs, then through another knuckle turning back to locate with the rack. So 2 knuckle joints all to go round the headers. Does anyone know where such knuckle joints and steering column extensions can be obtained?
Hope this make some sense. A tad diff to explain in writing.

Rimmer Brothers have an on line catalogue --- I suspect the part you need is the steeering shaft UJ used on the Triumph 2000 (manual rack) , Toledo, Dolomite --- you may need two.
I think the Allegro also used the same part.

A cheaper scrappy alternative might be to lool at using parts from a FWD Mk3 Escort

Thanks chaps, that's very helpful. Funnily I had just done some checking on the Rimmer site and came up with the same conclusion. All I need now is a good triumph breakers to get the bits from.

It is the ukc2449 knuckle and the extension that fits into it as shown on the diagram. It would be great if you had those bits. Thanks
