Some searching reveals it will probably be far easier to fit an electric steering column instead..
I have to change mine anyway so no biggy..
OK.. So becaus I'm a GIANT gaybo. I would really like to run PS in my track car..
Is there a PS rack that is the correct length or close to that of an 86 rack but ahs more travel than the 86 PS rack.?
ae82 eg..
Or going in a different dirrection.. What is it the limits the rack travel in a PS rack..??
Is it less teeth or the internal piston that stops it.?
I've never pulled a PS rack apart to see exactly how they function..

One of the irish guys posted that the seals pop if you go more than the original amount of travel. I think it might have been the same guy who was offering the drop in modified Opel Corsa electric column.

I fitted Uras extra lock rack ends to my P/S rack and it blew the seal on the piston. The piston travels past the external oil tubes and tears the nylon seal. I fitted another rack and the same happened, fitted new seals to the 1st rack and it blew again. I went back to normal rack ends then.
You might get away with a 3-4mm spacer but you would have to remove the pipes and see how close you would be to blowing out the seal.
In my googling I came across the Opel Corsa colomn.. Its quite a common rack to use into almost anything from what I can see..
Quite cheap too.. Thats deffinately the dirrection I will be heading..

I figured that would be the issue.. And even if you did get a 3-4mm spacer its still a long way short of matching the manual. rack.
find out if it's the same as out locally delivered Barina if you can. I am interested myself

Don't know how I'd find that info out but I would imagine they would be the same.. Would seem strange to change them when the cars are virtuall identical save for some minor cosmetic differences.
just find out if they feature any electric assistance for the start, if it does then I bet it's the same

Vauxhall.
Barina.
AS far as I can see they are identical..
Do you find the manual rack too heavy? Are you running wide front tyres? and what are you using the car for?
