My steering rack is leaking badly so I am going to replace it. Before doing so, I want to make sure I have all parts on hand.
My original rack is ZF with the mount on the passenger side. The replacement rack, which I obtained from a junkyard, is a Cam rack, part number 1359900, which mounts on the driver side.
Here are a couple pictures of my replacement rack, showing the mounting point.

I have read through a number of threads on steering rack replacement and also reviewed the instructions that come with the Maval replacement rack, which shows different hardware for each of the six variations. (The Maval was out of stock when I went to buy my replacement, and it also seems to have a bad reputation.)
I went back to the junkyard to try and get the mounting block, but unfortunately, the entire front cross member was gone off the car. (The junkyard pulled the rack for me when I bought it.)
What are the mounting parts I need to mount this rack on the driver side? Can the mount for the ZF rack be moved over to the driver side?
If any members have these parts available, please message me.
