Quick rack

[ASH GSI]

Bit of help needed, what options are available for a quick rack, I've seen the quaife and something about the corsa b rack but don't know much about it, some more info would be good, thanks

[Plug]

Quafie do internals for a nova rack so you'd have to strip it down,

i believe with the corsa b rack you change the arms to nova items.

quafie is 2.5 turns and corsa b is 2.75 turns

i will be using a corsa b item and converting it over will have pics when I do it in my project thread

Pictures in my project thread - Corsa B epas rack and it's pretty simple. Replace the tie rods as stated and cut down the shaft that goes into the column.

I will have a corsa b rack already converted for a nova up for sale soon

[ASH GSI]

That sounds good to me, how soon? & price

[millworm]

I'll be doing the corsa conversion soon

There's another brand available on eBay but about £150 for rack and pinion. Always used to be supply problems with the Quaife ones made in batches.

Corsa is the way to go I think, bolt in except for arms changed so no faffing with pinion bearings, preload etc.

[Plug]

Quafie must have a batch as they are listed as in stock on there site now.

Gone are the days you'd buy a complete rack from TAS for 120 quid ready to bolt in lol

imo a quick rack with no power assist is a pain in the arse in everyday use, lived with mine for 3 or 4 years every day, think mine is under 2 turns LTL tho,

Is there anyway of identifying a corsa quick rack? Apart from actually turning
Markings on the casing etc

As soon as I can be motivated to remove it, it is basically ready to get out so could be available soon if you are genuinely interested?

£80 plus postage.

When I remove mine I will have a look on the casing for you. I just know it is a Corsa one from checking lock to lock - 2.75 turns.

[Plug]

What sort of markings are you looking for? I've got a rack sat in the nova I can go and check

[Edd]

Part number on the casing maybe?
Just something I can identify one over a standard one

[Edd]

Cheers for that mate

[Iain]

Be careful its not just a housing part number though

[Plug]

I'll check it with the nova rack on the old shell, sure the casings are the same arnt they?

[Plug]

Right after having another look at 2 other racks I've got here both nova ones, that number isn't just for the casting

this is a mk1 rack

and this is a mk2 rack

well I think the above is a mk2 item it came on the shell but it's 4 turns lock to lock
