Turbo power steering rack

Where's the best option to source one of these for a 90 turbo?
I seem to be dripping fluid and it might just be a hose - the steering system is one of the few areas I haven't done any work to - but just in case I wondered if there was a source.
I have had one replaced in the past on another car and it wasn't cheap!
 
This lot have been recommended a couple of times on the 993 section, worth getting a price - haven't had to try them yet... tell me how you get on[;)]

Its not normally the rack that goes. The first thing to go are the high pressure hoses.
I have a classic car expert who made me a full set of hoses for my steering system on my 220 turbo for a really good price.
Neil Garner et al commented on how good the hoses were. PM me for contact details.......

 
I had a leak, and it was the rack. I recall an OEM replacement was either NLA or a silly price, so Northway had the the rack rebuilt. Even so the exchange rack was £395 (in 2009).

Agree with previous posts...at that price, make sure it's not just a hose!

This would not happen to be a chap by the name Richard would it? ;). He is pretty good I must say :).

One thing I can say is to go by reputation even if it costs a little. My Stag had an advisory for play in a recon rack. Call it OCD but I was not alone in that. Thankfully I found a good supplier in the end (but he only does Triumphs).
