Poll: Power steering rack on manual or regular manual rack onmk1

Missed most of this thread, but..



I have a MK1 manual rack, if someone wants to pay for it.

Quaife's rack and pinions (www.quaifeamerica.com) are like $295 - they replace the gearing but you still need a donor rack for the housing.  For $300 this would be sweet, I'd imagine.
