Are the following two steering racks interchangeable -

914.347.014.00
914.347.014.01

I have a nicely rebuilt .00 rack (see pics) that I would like to install in my '74 2.0L.
Research says the .00 is a rack from 70-72. Can I use it in my '74? Thanks.

As a re builder of these racks I can attest that all are interchangeable except the early 912 ones.
In fact we get 914 racks sent in that are 911 racks all the time. The big problem is that there are 6 major variations and even more internal differences in bearings retainers, and drag pucks as well as the outer guide bushings that there are 3 major variations. The castings are machined to each of these. This is one of the reasons we can't just sell a kit to rebuild.
