I got one from Moss for my TR4, but have not installed it.  Good luck.

Subject: [TR] close ratio steering

British Parts Northwest sells a close ratio (2.5 turns lock to lock)
steering rack for the TR4a - TR6

Moss Motors sells a close ratio (2.5 turns lock to lock) steering rack for
the TR4 - TR6

I'm not sure that they are different.  I tend to buy from BPNW if I can.

Has anyone installed either product on a TR4?  Mine is CT9683; I'm wondering
if it will fit.  FYI it is very TR3 in so many ways; I refer to it as a TR3
with roll up windows

Dave, You should ask Moss and BPNW your question but I believe it will =
not. The answer might be yes if you can confirm an early TR4 rack is the =
same PN as a late TR4 and a TR4A. I do recall hearing of failure of the =
close ratio racks as they were not =E2=80=9Cpinned=E2=80=9D and the tube =
would loosen. I also seem to recall if the racks were made in Argentina =
that those were the ones which failed. You might try Googling TR4 =
Steering rack failures too.
