I found the UJs were Leyland Sherpa items, but with same splines as Landover Discovery. Ball joints are also automotive. I did find a company making plastic rose joints with lh and Rh threads. I think but am not 100% that the aft steering box is Austin Healey. I found all my gearboxes were fairly easy to refurbish, so may be worth trying before forking out.

There is a guy in Southampton who sells old stock track rod ends, I bought some for Dawn Patrol. Ben has his details I think.
