Hello everyone.

Im Tom, ive had my bastard teenager sedicivalvole for a few years now and well i love it to bits. unfortunately it has been stood up for a few years due to funding issues!! well its time it came out and saw sun light, tasted tarmac and felt the pressure of my right foot again!! Ive got the usual things lined up, oil and plug change, cam, balancer belt and tensioner. the thing im thinking i might struggle with is that the steering rack is bleeding quite badly! in fact last time i used it i think it was costing more in power steering fluid than petrol, which with the way i used to drive it is saying a lot!! i have spoken to desira in bury st edmunds and according to them the part numbers are not the same for all the tipos which means to me that the sedici has a different rack in it. question is, does anyone have a steering rack sitting around not doing a lot?
thanks for the time and hope to hear back soon
Tom

Hmm I have new sedici one, but no idea how I could get it to you. You can use a NA coupe rack. The arms from rod end to rack can detach under the boots, you need to use the shorter tipo ones. The main difference in the racks are their ratio lock to lock and the length of the arms.

Thanks for the reply. Luckily I have found a second hand one which is on its way to me now. Got the little lady out of the barn yesterday, had to move a few cars out the way having to deal with old Italian cars and their brakes is a pain! Anyway she runs which is good news and the clutch isn't seized on so hopefully by the end of the week she should be on the road and running again. Fingers crossed!!

This garage of yours sounds interesting.

I dont suppose any of the Bravo/Brava family would share the Sedici or compatable rack?
