    Rack-Swap Firewall Adapter Plates (Restocked again)... now with rack spacers!

    Firewall adapter plates for your late model/airbag column cars when completing a steering rack swap from a post-E30 car.

    Laser cut and powdercoated 16-gauge steel, they can be used as a template for trimming your firewall, before installing to securely holding the OEM weatherproof boot around the column.

    Now also available with steel rack spacers to complete the swap! No need to bodge it in with nuts & washers.

    A small sample of what's available...

    • $45 for the firewall plates
    • $15 for a pair of rack spacers
    • $55 for a set
    Includes shipping within the Lower 48, adjusted postage for shipping further afield.

    As with the very popular previous batches (thank you everyone!), I have plates packaged up and ready to ship promptly. PM me for Paypal details and I'll get yours on it's way

          When I needed one I had a hell of a time finding one it’s a must for late model . Ireland engineering had it but I don’t think they offer it anymore . So good that you have these for everyone

              Nice product. Finally getting my 90i steering upgraded, was not comfortable with a fire wall cut without a pre made plate.

                Both remaining plates sold the same day, payment pending on the last one on hand.

                I have more on the way which should be ready to ship mid-late next week. Any orders placed in the meantime will be first to ship when they’ve cooled out of the oven!

                Thanks to everyone who has purchased items to date. You’ve all been a pleasure to deal with.

                      Has anyone installed one with the steering rack already in the car? I was thinking of cutting it to fit it around the steering shaft. Seems easier than dropping the rack again.

                        No need to chop it up. Loosen the big nut on the column and slide the splined portion out via the engine bay, if you must. Good opportunity to clean and regrease the splines. I refurbished the whole column which shows what all the bits look like.

                          Latest batch flew out the door! Another (bigger) batch on order for next week. Just a couple left to ship in the meantime

                              Got another (larger) batch done. Last lot sold out pretty quick so doubled the batch size this time! I’ll keep a pre-packaged amount on hand so they can ship promptly (same day or next).
