Where's the best place to pick one up from at a good price? Emailed a few places on eBay but not heard back today. Not looking at exchanging for mine just looking to buy build up ready to fit but prob minus track rods .

Cheers

There's one listen for nova van on gay bay for £35

There all the same

or buy a corsa b one.. the rack is the same, but the track rods are longer.

and if you want a quick-rack, buy a corsa b EPAS one.

Not an option to recon the one you have or a second hand one? Strip the rack and pinion out, new bearing, inspect and regrease with new arms and rods won't come to that much I wouldn't have thought

Too much hassle, for the cost of them.

OP, just open your eyes. I bet bgay is littered with them, for pennies.

Could always buy an old ropey one and send it off for exchange if none are available on the shelf.

Which corsa's have the epas ??

Presumably the corsa b face lift ?? Or the C

True.

Exchange units from a motorfactors will likely be two to three times the price though, imo.

My local factors were about £30 exchange Liam, Sutton part of BuyPartsBy (online).

Both Bs and Cs had EPAS, but to fit a Nova you want a B rack.

I've heard back from both the cheaper places on the bay. The £35 option seems a good bet, it's just an original case with non gm inners and rods.
The other I contacted was a £50 corsa b one with quick rack. These have had some use so wasn't 100% sure on them.
I would need a rack ready to go in as the nova is in daily use.
