[DeTomaso] steering rack

This is the same unit used in the Dino 246GT.
When mine got worn on that car maybe 5 yrs ago the word on the Ferrari forum was that those aftermarket units are of much inferior quality compared to the originals and I should have mine rebuilt.
 
Steve Wilkinson sent my rack to someone in Chicago to have it rebuilt-- was about $400 if IIRC.
 
You could check with Steve for current price

   Mark.
   I think this is the one I purchased in Feb or March.  Have installed it
   but haven't driven it much.  I think the rod ends came from Bobby
   Byers.

   Does anyone have the link  for the steering rack that was on ebay? I
   lost it.  How has it worked out for those that have installed it? What
   rod ends did you use?
   Thanks,
