Does anybody have any photographs that show the mounting brackets on the front cross member for a steering rack as fitted to the 84/85 spiders?

There is a gentleman in Spain that sells a kit for 800 EUROS

Below are some photos. The last one is the kit from Spain.

Thanks lanciahf - most helpful. It looks like all I need is the cross member or make two holding brackets for a "standard" cross member :idea:

Does anyone have the information on the gentleman in Spain who offers the rack and pinion conversion kit? I think it will be worth the price considering how hard the Spider is to turn around in a parking lot. Thanks.
