Greg, very interesting, getting a rack with no core wanted.
Anyways, I would take the rack as I can rebuild it myself. Rebuild kits are
available. Or you rebuild it and sell it to make some bucks to put in your
Van ! It would make a nice little project for your "free" time !

wondering
what to do with the old one. I don't really have the space to store it. Its
yours for FREE if you want it. I will be at bon echo, shelter valley and
watkins events this summer and can bring it there if you don't live near
Ottawa.
The rack replacement job was not as fun as the new gas tank install or
replacing fuel lines - and I had grown quite fond of manual steering. And
getting the washer fluid output line back on its nipple was really hard.
And
how the heck do you remove/replace the old power steering rack bushings
without a press? I just left the old ones in that came with my rebuilt rack
but I would ideally like to have new ones in there.<<<<<<<
