Default Subaru steering rack

Bob,

I am trying to track down some parts for a pending 289FIA purchase.

I know that ERA offers modified Mustang steering rack because the Subaru racks are getting to be pretty hard to find. I kind of like the idea of the 2.7 turns lock to lock and I don't give up too easy, so I am looking for a Subaru rack.

I am told that there was not significant mechanical changes from the '79 Brat rack to the '80 and that it is breather tube related for the boots. Internally vented vs. external. To his point '79 has been impossible to find but I have come accross a few 1980's.

If that is true, have I just found my needle-in-the-haystack?

Any input or light you can shed would be greatly appreciated.

-John
