Yup. Keep going down the A229 until it becomes really really really isolated! 
E30: The only E-number you should be concerned about
Only just saw this thread, so I realise I'm a bit late joining in on this one.
I did an E46 rack conversion on my space-frame track car (that uses E30 sub-frames, LSD, suspension etc) a short while ago and posted the details here if anyones interested: http://www.e3024v.com/board/index.php?topic=556.0
The 3-turns lock-to-lock is fantastic, and aside from the engine conversion, it's one of the best mods I have made so far. I'm using an E36 steering column on my track car, so the details of how I connected the column to the rack are irrelevant. However, the details of how I installed the E46 rack (which is very similar to the E36 rack) may be of interest to you all.
Just a suggestion: If you plan to seriously throw your E30 around or have built a serious track car, then don't use those front mounting holes. They won't break immediately, they'll first suffer fatigue over time, and THEN break

haha, thanks again
It is available new - part number is 1114508, and it's less than 50p. That said, I don't think there's any need to change it as the aluminium guibo all but negates the requirement for it as everything is rigidly mounted.
