I use Neil Jones in Wales for a lot of spares.
His steering racks are 40-60 pounds if I recall correctly. And his also come with the tie rods. I think his eBay username is neiljones308 but I also have his number if you have no joy and would like it.

Really?? I've used him for various bits and bobs and have had no dramas. He's even sent things special last minute next day and all that when I've been truly stuck.
There's also an eBay user called mr2mk1breakers or mk1mr2breakers that's pretty reasonable. And he's about 40 for a rack.
He sold me a brand new exhaust downpipe for 50 posted! Win

And I may be weeing in the wind here. But it might be cheaper to buy the reconditioning parts yourself and recon a good used one yourself. I've seen a guide on it and it looks fairly basic. The joys of no power steering!

He will even sell you a pirated, inferior copy of a Jimi™ bracket for much more than it would cost to buy a genuine one from the person who invented them I had to take steps to get him to stop using my name to sell his inferior copies.adamstanford wrote:Really??

Paul Sims is worth a try as well and his prices are reasonable http://www.mr2mk1toyotaspares.com/

Ah right I see. I assumed they were just your brackets that were taken from.broken cars. I bought direct anyway, as a matter of principal.

They were to start with (saw them going on eBay for £30+) and a few probably still are, but the majority are copiesadamstanford wrote:Ah right I see. I assumed they were just your brackets that were taken from.broken cars.
I know and it's much appreciated.adamstanford wrote:I bought direct anyway, as a matter of principal.
