A-Series 83 Steering Rack

[ptmt]

Hello,
Is it possible to use RH steering rack in a LH drive car by just interchanging the tie-rods, or it will not fit?

Haynes shows three types of steering racks for models: 1)80-84, 2)85, 3)86 on.
Are they compatible with 80-84 Metro, using same simple flexible coupling? Or there is another type suitable for all?

It seems impossible to change RH to LH, and finding a LH rack is difficult.

you cant just turn a rhd rack round and use it in a lhd car.
the round rubber disc is used on all a-series as far as I know.
I only knew of two versions of a-series racks, but a third one is very possible. the differences between the two I know are little though.

Thank you very much.
