    Default Lola Got Broke

    We had a small problm at Hallett on turn one. The Lola hit a bunch of oil on turn one resulting in a spin with several other cars collecting me. I am now looking for a steering rack, left front lower A arm, and the plate that attaches to the frame with six bolts.

    Hat in hands,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    So sorry you got tangled up in that. Your car is so pretty I hate to see it damaged. We had a car go off in that incident also, in another corner but only minor damage. Any way I can help?

    If anyone can fix them it would be in no particular order: Richard and Steve at ICP, Keith Averill or Pat Prince

    Default Steering Rack

    I can possibly help with a steering rack.



    I think this came from my T342 many years ago. It was cleaned and painted and has been stored in my heated basement for about 15 years now.

    Dimensions -
    - between mounted blocks - 11.25" cl to cl
    - mounting block cl to pinion shaft cl - approx 7" (pinion shaft not perpendicular)
    - ball joint to ball joint - approx 26"

    Let me know if you are interested - derek at lola7 dot com

    edit: - hmmm pic disappeared - let's try again - I can email larger pic for you

    It looks like Bob Henson was able to fix the steering rake. I've sent the suspension parts to Pat Prince. Hopefully, I can get all of this fixed without having to do dishes for the rest of my normal life.
