Thanks and again v helpful. Yes, I am only two years younger than the TC and I have had it since I was 22 when young men still drove these vehicles!

Re: TC steering

Actually there is slightly too much tightness in the box. When I go round a Roundabout I have to pull the car back to driving straight! Maybe I should add a shim and loosen it all a bit?

Re: TC steering

I had it rebuilt a few yrs back by Mike Fisher of Walberswick UK so I think the bishop cam is OK. I am going to have the toe is checked first. Thanks for the pics. Never came across the Tompkins kit. Might ask my local supplier NTG if they recommend it!

Re: TC steering

Thanks for that. Maybe I'll stop worrying! But I shall certainly be checking the toe in (probably ask my mechanic down the road to do that professionally. .

TC steering

Hi all. I had my TC steering rebuilt about five years ago. Recently on motorways (I do try to avoid them!) it tends to wander when on concrete surface - it is OK on tarmac. It also seems more affected by camber than in recent years... Any ideas as to why this should be? Christopher Tinker
