Quaiffe do one but to be honest unless you are spending a lot of time on track I wouldn't bother. A trade off for the quicker steering is it will become heavier.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

Right I spoke to Scott at Quaife today. He says that they don't make one for the Mk3, but if there is 10 people that want them they will make a kit too suit.
I explained that 10 might be alot to ask for. So his alternative was that if there is 5 then they would still be able to make a kit too suit. The only difference being was that the price would be a little dearer.
I have asked for an idea of price from him, so that I can post it here too see if there is enough interest from Mk3 owners??

Right the price that Quaife quoted was £120+vat. That was based on an order of 10 units for members.
It was also an estimated price because obviously they don't know just how much work would be involved.
Its also worth noting that this is for the kit, but although they don't fit them they could put us in contact with somebody that could fit the kit into your existing rack.
I am estimating that it will be about £160 all in including the fitment into your own rack.

Right this link has gone quite, so lets have some definite answers of people that are interested.
Please only reply if you want to be a part of it, don't just reply with a maybe.
I will then have words with Quaiffe to see how we get the ball rolling from there!!

Thread Resurection
I'm assuming this one died a death.
Its a few years on now, would there be any more interest.
