Replacing the rack internals on a shortened/modified Sierra rack is quite easy. The most difficult part is cutting the quick rack down to size and
drilling and tapping a new internal thread. If you have the tools to do it, it shouldn't be too difficult.

If you buy a generic quick rack kit it'll need cutting down and the end retapping (M14 fine or someting like that). The mk one will be ready to
fit. I did the former as it was easier for me at the time, but more expensive once you've paid for the tap.

i just done mine, form the kit i got for Christmas, to it to my local engineering company, to cut it down and thread it, and gave him 20quid, and done
it the same day, so i was happy 
depends on how much mk want for one?

looking at buying the tap and or getting an engineering firm to do it( there is only one local to me and its quite a big outfit so there not to
interested in small jobs) it looks like mk might be the way to go with it.
thanks for the replies lads, whats it like with a quick rack anyway never driven one, im only changing because of installing electric paddles and the
wire keeps getting wrapped round the column.
Why are simple jobs always twice as time consuming and expensive as they first seem.
