067 clubsport steering rack from a e46 with modification parts from a fellow zoner called DanThe will fit.

Best to use the E46 rack....should be a lot newer...use the existing E30 tie-rod ends but you will need some 14 mm spacers for the rack I believe and have to modify the connection to the steering shaft. I am not sure which pipes you need to use..is your car LHD or RHD?

You can check the site www.e30tech.com/forum....look at the "ground control steering section" but bear in mind they cater mainly for LHD E30s.

I am suggesting this as it could be a bit pricey getting a full kit shipped to Indonesia from the UK from DanThe as suggested above! :?
