I was pointed in the direction of Kiley-Clinton by a member here.

https://steering-racks.co.uk/

Not the cheapest. I believe it came in around £175 including return carriage and VAT.

Not the quickest either. Seemed to take them 3 times longer than the quoted time, however they were friendly and no problems to report 3 months in.

I provided a rack for refurb which I purchased from Andy (Trikey).

I will second Kiley Clinton. I have been using them for years and have never had a problem.

Agree on the time factor but if you tell them it is urgent for what ever reason you want to come up with they can turn them around in a couple of days.

is it leaking or have the inner ball joint(s) gone (excessive play), the latter is the usual fault and can be remedied easily and cheaply.
