Default Does a EK9 steering rack fit an EK4?

I'm still living an unhappy life because of my truck style steering, i want it to have a shorter sterring ratio, so i thought that the CTR has to have a shorter turn to turn than my EK4, so i wanted to know if i should get one of those. Or does anybody know by now if someone is making an aftermarket one?

thanks!

I don't see why not...same chassis. Ask in the hybrid or road racing forums, I would think that someone there would definitely know

And the LHD or the RHD doesn't matter?

ah yeah good point. I was only taking into consideration the mounting points.
your best bet would be to swap the internals into your current rack. Pioneer the effort. Im sure others would follow.

I might end up beeing forced to do that if an EK9 rack won't be too expensive. Although i would prefer a simpler solution.
Any more input guys?
