get a reconditioned rack mate, or put an add in the ''parts wanted'' section on the zone, someone must have one!

2nd hand racks only come with a 3month warranty dont they?
$170 for one - thats a pretty good price. I just swaped one out on my e30 and it was $300 second hand from parramatta prestige.
reco they wanted $750 :cry:
