I've also got a Z3 rack with the custom pipes if anyone is after a quick rack that is power assisted. Check parts for sale tonight

[hookedonboost]

Hey Guys,

I might have to take my name off the list as I am thinking of going PAS with E36 rack, on the plus side I will might have a Manual rack for sale if anyone is short?

[scot]

Any more news on this?

[alxekb]

I need a LHD version! Please, add me to list. Maybe I need 2 additional steering racks, for my friends, and i need ship it outside of UK (from Russia).

Hi guys!

Right, it would appear the 'pre-facelift' rack I bought had a traingular rack not a round one So they're sending it back to me and we're no further

Does any one have a spare pre-facelift rack they'd be willing to send to Quaife? I'll pay for the courier and you'll get it back again?

[RobCallow]

How can you tell without pulling the rack apart?

Just so we know when looking for a rack.

[scot]

We need the ROUND PRE FACELIFT rack

Cant say for certain without moving one of the rubber boots back like i did in the picture below





as you can see its ROUND not triangular

[mattrs]

Any more progress?

[ross_jsy]

hmmm I just checked on realoem, the part diagrams for both pre and post facelift are showing tubular racks.

[jbh]

ive got one here I could get boxed up ready for dispatch. its defo triangular.. only got the one sadly..

[jbh]

just re read that.. is it the round one that needs sent? also got one of rthese let me know which one is required

[scot]

Ok this is getting confusing

Prefacelift diagram



Face lift diagram



As Ross said they are identical but is it just a library picture used for both??

Does anybody have a post facelift rack they could take pics of like i did?

I know my rack is definately a pre facelift as its stamped 87 and it came off a Tech 1 sport.

I'll be a back up rack donor if you want?

[jbh]

ill get a picture of both of my racks later as ive got one of each.

[e21Jason]

Real OEM pictures are just for illustration and often are not a detialed picture of the part.

[Motorhole]

this doesn't bode too well for finding a pre-facelift rack to rebuild! But my name is staying firmly on the list

[ross_jsy]

It won't be too hard I wouldn't think.

I am sure a reputable trader like spadge would be able to help out.

[rix313]

PM'd JBH, Scot I'll give you a shout if required

Any body know if a 'tubular' rack can be fitted to a 'triangular' racks case?

So list is full. Any news about round racks?

[mattrs]

Anyone know whats happening with this please?

[Motorhole]

As above

[scot]

I'm guessing JBH has had his rack sent to Quaife to be looked at...

[MarkT]

Could be interested

[rix313]

I believe JBH is getting one wrapped up so I can get it sent off

[scot]

Well i've got one ready and waiting! How long does it take!?

[ross_jsy]

Gonna be a while yet. Imagine they will have to develop the tooling for them etc before they can produce them.

Is this any further? Has the rack reached Quaife yet?

[rix313]

I've got my triangular one back

JBH is sending his this week.

Hi,

The problem with this conversion is
locating the 'U' Manual Racks in the
first place.

The Triangular ones are far more common,
but no tooling exits for them.

Roland Gotte has been doing this conversion
for a number of years now, on any 'U'
Rack, Manual or Power upto 2.2 lock to lock.

He charges around 900.00 euro.

Roland supplied the Manual Quick Rack
on my E30 M3 Track Car, makes moving
it about in the garage fun, on the plus side
you can cancel your Gym membership.

Have any of you guys ever driven a 6 pot E30
with 205 + front rubber and a Manual Rack ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Not a manual rack exactly, but i removed the PS belt from
my 325i Cab 4 years ago. Using 205 + all round and i don,t have a problem with it.
