Steering rack grommet question

I hope to install it and get to other stuff before the clutch/trans install, but I'm stuck at work and can't check my car to see if I might need to have the dealer overnight the ring part.....I was thinking that maybe the ring represents the 2nd half of and upgraded design and I really need both parts.

   on the assumption that the boot is on a mk2 or that the mk1's are the 
same, the second part is simply a piece that fits inside the elbow at 
the top to keep the envrionment out. a spacer, more or less.  you can 
install it after you get everything back together.
