    replacing steering rack, which hose goes where?

    replacing steering rack on my 3b with servotronic to the one without ( from b4 cabrio) and hose connection are in different location, not sure which hose goes where, as connection differ. on servotronic one goes on the rack column another by the steering mount.
    on the new one both connections are next to each other where steering connect to.
    don't want to mess up.
    can somebody help me on that please.
    There is a pic of both racks

    what's the number on the new rack as I don't think your hoses will fit to that.

    Non servo-tronic racks are also available with the hose attachment points in the same place as your original.

    Here's a pic of mine for a 7A

      The odd one out looks like an early B3 rack, with both pressure and return line into the rotary valve housing. You need the correct fluid lines to fit it.
