When I got mine a few years back it was 10000 SEK inkluding the custom pressure line which is a must.

Is Sanden able to provide you the direct contacts at Sellholm?

He said to contact them via Phone or email and talk to Jan. I can call them and check for interest. I can explain that it is a overseas order. If they are willing you can take over contacts with them.
You can check their website. Kinda simple site but these guys only do parts for racing, rally and rallycross and have been in the game for ages and are very respected here in Skandinavia, home of the worlds craziest rallydrivers 😉

If there's a possibility of getting this done, count me in as a customer.

Id be down for one possibly two… would there be an option to just buy the gearset? Would save on the back and forth shipping and make life a whole lot easier… I drove an evo 8 and it was like 1.5 turns… loved it, but had to be careful changing the radio station.. one twitch of the wheel and you knocking down mailboxes.. lol

This should probably make the rounds on the Facebook groups, especially "Premier 944 Turbo & 968 Turbo" and "944 Outlaws". Lots of traction on there. I'd be interested.

Hi Guys.

I talked to Jan at Sellholm and they can help you guys out. Preferably they want 5 or more at the same time.

The work involved is extensive so the answer to GPA951S is NO they need the rack since the house itself is modified inside to fit the new gearset and special gaskets are used. They can also convert a powersteering rack into a manual version of this Quick ratio rack should anyone want that.

Email him at jan@sellhom.se and deal with him/them directly. They are used to dealing with customers outside of Sweden so no need for me to be a middlehand.

Thank you so much Peder.

Do you have power or manual steering in your car? I’d imagine it would be very difficult to turn the steering wheel with a manual, quick ratio rack.

Yes mine is powersteering. However for a 924S or stock 951 tired car it would work great.

Hope it works out well with Sellholm for you.

I have one in my 968 Turbo S/RS replica and it totally transforms the car. I believe it is 2,1 turns lock to lock.

This is EPAS assisted rack? What's the cost of one? Id be interested in one of these if it's in 'i get to keep my organs' price range.

No this is a modified stock rack. Dont know cost these days, I paid 10000 SEK a few years back. A core needs to be provided to Sellholm. User SM in this thread is the one that will look into a deal with Sellholm, I just made the initial contact with them to see if they were interested in making a few for international buyers.

Sissy! Come on what's a kidney worth nowadays? But seriously I'd be interested too at that price you just quoted.
