Hi
Does anyone have an escort Mk2 steering box shim (from an old rack) that they are willing to sell? My rack is slightly too tight which is affecting the self-centring. Alternatively does anyone know of a supplier?

Thanks
Dave

Burtonpower? or make your own from shimstock from your local engineering suppliers.
Are you using a Sierra column? The column bush can bind affecting self steering. Mine improved vastly by fitting a self aligning bearing instead of the bush , cost about a tenner

Thanks for the suggestions.
I have already done the sierra column bearing mod and re-positioned the suspension brackets to make more castor (which made it center enough to pass the IVA), however a bit of detective work (ie disconnecting one thing at a time) has led back to the damper on the steering rack. If the damper plate bolts are loosened by a half turn the steering becomes light and centers strongly.
The rack was second hand when I got it so I assume the previous user altered the number of shims.
