Wow haven’t been here for a while! But not getting much support on the FB group! So as per the title i’ve purchased a z3 rack and just wanted confirmation from someone who’s done the job that i have the correct 2.7 lock to lock rack. I’ve been on the wiki zone etc. used various search engines and there’s still some ambiguity about it.

Also can anyone recommend a place to get it refurb’d in the west midlands?

TIA

Wiki seems quite clear to me. It has that 038 part number down as a Z3 2.7 rack. Realoem also confirms this is a Z3-only rack. There are 2 other part numbers that supersede this 039 and 077 but they are all Z3 racks.

Only way to tell for sure is turn the input shaft with some mole grips for stop to stop. If it turns 2.7 times you have your answer. :thumb:
