Hi Everyone
I am new to TM so forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place. I have a 1999 4/4 which is fitted with a Jack Knight steering rack. Less than a year ago the Gaiter split so I ordered a new one it cost £127. I was not impressed when it arrived, the material thickness is about 2.5 mm at one end and O.85 at the other. I queried this with Morgans but they told me that this was about right, so I fitted it. Less than a year later it split so I decided to make my own. I fitted it to the car and so far it seems OK, but the gaiters I have used do get compressed a little more than they are designed for at full lock in either direction. So time will tell, but even if I only get a year they are a whole lot cheaper to replace than the ones from Morgan.
