    Z3/ E36 Steering Rack Plate for Late Model e30's



    Whats up guys, I figured there might be some interest so I decided to start producing these for the community. What your looking at is the correct firewall plate needed for keeping your steering column boot secured after installing a Z3 or e36 steering rack into your e30. This plate is only need for late model e30's, e30's which originally came from the factory with a airbag steering wheel. Basically without this plate your steering column boot has no way to stay "clipped in place" which can cause a number of issues including:

    -Water entering the cabin
    -Excess Wind noise
    -The boot no longer being held in place
    -Cold feet while driving in cold weather



    These are hand made and hand cut in my house, made on my spare time. The price reflects my time and shipping. Note: You will still need "E30 Late Model Steering Rack Spacers" and of course, the actual e36/ Z3 steering rack. Please refer to the DIY video on how to install.





    All you need is this plate and the steering rack spacers to install a e36 steering rack in your late model e30. You do not need to modify your steering knuckle if you use my plate and follow my DIY video bellow.



    $29 shipped or $23 local pick up.











    I went ahead and made a full DIY video on how to install the plate, which can be found here:

    Thanks for making that video! That clears up some misconceptions I had about this process. If I end up picking up a Z3 rack I'll definitely be reaching out for the plate.

      Happy to help out . Little tricky on the airbag cars but hopefully the video was pretty informative.
