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. Ansbacher   |

The racks are interchangeable, IIRC the 2 mounting bolts are not. One rack uses short bolts, the other longer.

Measure the depth of the hole or do a test fit with the bolt to be sure it do, not sure if the grade 8.8 or 10.9. The lenght is about 25mm. The bolt takes a split loch washer and account for the rack thickness of about 5mm. You want maximum thread engagement. |
