Thanks Rick. I am aware of the sale at VB. I am trying to keep the Bugeye as original as possible when I can. 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.Mike

There was an auction on eBay for a Bugeye steering rack that I was interested in, but was not sure if it came from a Bugeye or was a later rack. 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.Mike MacLean
