Local car shop will get them in - if they don't stock 'em already (my local does).

Must be an Ipswich thing... I've just fitted my RalDes quick rack! (makes driving... interesting... )

Fun though!

P.S. Have you tried Eastern Auto Spares? They are just round the corner from you, after all. Got mine from there, but that was a year or three ago.

All motor factors can get them, mine even had them in stock!

Mine were £4.95 each, quinton hazel ones (QR1384S)

I have mk2 esort (metric M14 x 2.0 thread) track rod ends.

One pair, £ 2 + post packing/ these appear new and were fitted to my rack. One of the small rubber band that hold the gaiter on may need replacing.

Another pair, £ 4 + post/packing. These came spare with the car; so are 100%unused.

Or both pairs for £ 5 + post packing.
