I suspected steering rack and last night convinced myself it is definitely the new rack. I dropped both track rod ends off and both wheels swung free with no effort.i then turned steering wheel and it was still stiff so loosened off the new rack and still the same. I'll take the rack off altogether and try the steering column on its own to prove once and for all. I'm going to put old rack back on even though there's a little bit of play and see what happens.

Ditto, mines the same until I tighten everything up and lower the car back down.

I have just changed my tyres to Yoko's but prior I had Goodyear with white writing and I liked the look after all that's what I had in the late 70's with Goodyear Grand Prix S

I believe there's a GT6 belonging to Ian Cottam almost ready for the road with a 300hp Volvo S40 under the bonnet . Pictures are on "Yorkshire Triumph" website. http://www.yorkshiretriumphs.co.uk/2013/04/gt6-racer-for-track-road/

Try mx5 seats, easy to fit.lucky for me I'm short but if you grind the locating pin off the runners they will lower.

Thanks everyone for your comments,both good and bad. Gym.....don't think so, the steering is not stiff just extremely heavy,got alleycats on with 175 tyres but it was the same with standard wheels. Trunnions oiled regularly and steering rack greased,maybe try a GT6 rack.

Has anyone tried to fit electric power steering to a Spitfire? Maybe off a Corsa,sleeve both ends to fit steering rack and keep original steering wheel....
