I have a Cooper S which did a triple endo and bent a lot of stuff. I ordered new Cooper S MK2 arms thinking I'd have to buy a MK2 rack. Having 17 steering racks on the shelf I decided to try my hand at rebuilding a MK1 rack. Searching around I was able to find enough parts to repair an early rack. That leaves these new arms surplus to my needs. I realize there are plenty of S and non S MK2 and beyond arms around used. These are new and I'm asking what I paid no more. Steve (CTR)

Mk IIs have "ears" or tangs as described. Mk Is do not (have unadorned round ends).
They're both the same length but have a slightly differently angled kink..... If you overlay the different versions so that the hub holes line up, the tie rod holes are offset by about half the hole diameter...

What Ian said... and I have yet to have an explanation from one of the experts why one can't use a MKII+ steering rack with MK1 arms. I know the importance of Ackerman geometry when it comes to race cars, but feels it's not critical on a street car.
Here in Oz all our cars got Mk1 arms and Mk1 Oz made racks.
Many over the years have had UK Mk2 style racks fitted as replacements. I doubt the steering angles suffer except at full lock, which would hardly matter as it's seldom used in daily driving.

TTF,
Stock #'s are BTA-896, 897 and have a tang on opposing sides of the Track rod end.
There are also the thicker BTA-894-895's also that will work.
The ones I have are 21A74S and 73S and are round at the track rod end. I can't tell you which ones are longer or shorter.
I would be open to a trade if interested.

With all those lights on the front, does the engine run hot?

Anyone have a set they can do without?
The hubs I got have Mkl arms so I need to switch them.
