Help: `90 SE Steering Rack

[SasaJ]

Is there anybody out there who has an idea where/how to find a Steering Rack to a 1990 Esprit SE chargecooled US model (with airbag). I bought my beauty in Hungary!!! 3 years ago, showroom condition. Since then I've been through some of the Esprit syndromes. So far I have been able to source all parts through an official dealer in the UK, but he just disappointed me that actually Lotus Co. has no stock of the steering rack anymore.
So if somebody knows any additional sources or replacement parts or reconditioned ones I would surely be thankful.

I had to put in a steering rack recently, Lotus do not make or stock them any more for earlier esprits, I got mine sources through PMN engineering in merseyside it came from Germany price 254 stg +vat at 17% also you will probably need a lower universal joint as this goes nearly as frequently as the rack price around 30 stg + vat, they also used to rebuild the racks but stopped this as the replacements that were comming back were as in very different states of corrosion inside in the box hence different quality rebuilds, trouble with them is they are so close to the ground moisture gets in and corodes the bearings



Hope this helps
