[DML] Steering Rack Plate - Anyone Have An Extra I Can Buy?

["jedimasterglenn" <jedimasterglenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I will be eternally grateful if someone can help me out of this jam!  
I just had a rebuilt steering rack installed.  When my mechanic 
removed the old rack, he removed an oval/egg-shaped plate that fits 
around the steering rack's pinion shaft.  This is either called 
a "pre-load" plate or a "pinion plate"...I'm not sure which.  It 
serves to protect the inner areas of the pinion shaft.  Well, my 
mechanic discarded this and I need it in order to get a $250 core 
charge refunded on the old rack.  I'm being told by my vendor that 
without it, the old rack is "junk".  I will of course buy this from 
you if you have a spare.  If not, I'm going to have to take the plate 
off of my new rack & return it to the vendor and also have a 
replacement plate machined for me somewhere.  I REALLY don't want to 
mess with my newly installed rack nor deal with the hassel of getting 
one machined.  But I also don't want to lose $250 on account of a 
crummy scrap of metal.  Please make my day and tell me you have one 
you can part with!!  

Thanks,
Glenn
