So the swap.
The standard rack is actually a RHD toyota rack flipped upside down. So I bought a 'purple tag' quick rack from a RHD BMW Z3.
It fits on to the original mounts, with two flat bar extensions.
Seen here
The OEM BMW inner and outer tie rods fit too.
The only things that need altering is that the inner tie rod needs 18mm cutting off it.
I used some D bar, a flaming river UJ

and a Borgeson anti vibration UJ

and some 3/4 34 spline bar to make the lower steering column.
My dash already had the bracket for mounting the column to it, which was V helpful
The pedals and master cylinders I moved across wholesale. Just had to drill all the holes needed. Luckily with mine been an early car, the pedal box wasn't bonded in.
Made a new dash with some Ali
Fitted the PAS pump from a GM Astra which lives on a custom mount down here
