Are you sure you need one? I have twice seen an mot fail for the rack which turned out to be both rack ends (aka tie rods or track rods).

I have also seen bad rack diagnosed as the source of knocking noise on the steering and it turned out to be the universal joint at the bottom of the steering column is either loose or warn out.

My old FL was diagnosed as need a replacment rack following (if I remember correctly) an advisory on it's MOT. The previous owner supplied one for me which I never fitted and it passed another couple of MOTs fine without changing.

I think I still have it in the shed, still in it's packaging so if you need one, let me know. It's been there for 3-4 years now though, I don't know if that would have a detrimental effect on it.
