Steering rack seals (8A1498020) NLA, help!

[Antsa]

So I was about to service my leaking steering rack. I know that removing the rack with the engine in isn't exactly a walk in a park, but finding the correct seal set has become the real issue here. New steering rack from Tradition 1.796,90 EUR and TRW alternative over 400, so not the first option to buy a new one Does anyone know where to get correct seals? Or if someone could ask their local stealers if they happen to have a set lying around I would be very grateful All the help much appreciated!

I can get you the kit if you need.

NOt a direct match but could be worth checking with the company if they can cross ref your numbers to find the right part.
