Title: lhd steering rack wanted
Post by pieter on May 22^nd, 2006, 10:26pm

Stuck in New Zealand without a left hand drive steering rack for a Ford Scorpio. Has anyone got such a thing, or know how I can get onto one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked your local suppliers?

There is a firm near me that is the base for reconditioning racks.
They do LHD ones.
If I remember correctly they was about 120 pounds for a 24V one when I spoke to them a year ago.

They have a branch in New Zealand (capco@xtra.co.nz)
You would have to ask if they can get one from the U.K branch for you.

Dave, or anyone else that can help further.

I was given an address for Capco in New Zealand by Dave (thanks heaps). However this has led to a dead end and I still need a rack.

Could anyone please give me the UK email address for these people and I will try contacting them direct. Alternatively second hand from a club member would suit me fine.
Regards, Piet in New Zealand

Piet, I'm sure Dave will be back to you soon. In the meantime you might try, www.jaygee.co.uk who specifically mention left hand racks on their site.
