i was looking into that swap too.. you basically need the whole rack & tie rods.  if you can find one at a scrapper just yank out the whole thing.

good for another 2-3 hp up top (possibly) and 1-2 mpg?  :lol:

191 419 063 B is the part number for a manual short rack, if you can find one..

I bought the last new febi one I knew of and shoved it into my project car to free up a few ponies..

correction: I can get one new.. febi, be about 175 plus shipping for a short rack..

Not that you'd need new per se. just letting you know it's an option. ;)

I have a complete setup - rack/knuckle/boot. Not sure what shipping would cost though, from So. IN. LMK if you're interested.
