they ( Maval ) may not supply manual steering racks. I tried to see their exact product list, but so far only saw :

Products Offered:

a.. Power Rack & Pinion Steering Units b.. Power Steering Pumps c.. Power Steering Gear Boxes d.. Electric Steering Columns and Gears! so perhaps they do not supply rebuilt manual ones. I can supply a good used one though. Scot www.turbovans.com
