Yes, I have a 1275 and Datsun transmission, but other than that the car is dead stock with many original to the car components.  The VB rack is a generic type the will definitely fit and work fine, but it would just bother me every time I lifted the bonnet.  In any case I just sourced another Bugeye rack from eBay for only 7 bucks more than the last one costs.  At least I was told it was a Bugeye rack.  We'll see when it gets here.  In any case I have filled the rack in the car with Cornhead grease.  At least it is lubricated for as long as I want to take with a replacement.

So, I sent a message to the eBay auction what car this rack came from.  I was answered the next day that it came from a Bugeye.  I immediately used the "buy it now" feature and paid $69 for it.  That was yesterday.  Today I get a message from the seller telling me he is refunding my money because he made a mistake and sold the steering rack two years ago.  No explanation why it was on eBay this week.  What the heck?  OK, so now I am still looking for a steering rack. Crap.
