I think it's from a Dodge Colt. (Manual steering rack) I don't know what year. It looks just like the Hyundai Excell rack that I used on my 954 Piranha.
I got the Colt rack from rexpo. I'm not sure if he's a member here yet.
He can tell you who to buy them from on EBay.

It's not too difficult. I don't have any pics. of the process.

So here is what I cam up with for my mount. I used 2- 3/4" heim joints and made some tabs. This is Very tight and sturdy. My old setup had a brass bushing that had tons of slop in it after a couple of trips. Kind of expensive setup but I had a bunch of left over QA1 heims from the old car so it was free to me.

This setup is WAY beter than that stupd billet clamp on deal that I spent $60 on by far. Much more work than just clamping something on but a way beter product in the end.

I've done all my cars that way.As far as I'm concerned it's the best way by far.
