Default help identifying a TRW RHD rack please

I just purchased a cobra, it is a replica motor co brand car.
The steering rack appears to be missing the bush on the inner passenger side.
( if it has one ) but bangs around like crazy. ( seriously doubt a rack end would move that much.
It is a RHD car.
the rack is TRW brand, NON power steering.
has P23-60 in the rack casting
Hope these pics work, and thanks for any help.

When I first looked at it I thought it was the left hand rack turned upside down and shortened so it could be mustang 2

Mounting bolts look like Mustang II.

The number to the right of P23-60 is the rack part number. If you shine a flashlight from the side as you take the photo it will show the relief of the numerals.

Thank you ALL so much.
Yes it was a commodore rack I believe.
I now have the part required and will fit it this afternoon.

Next step is identify the steering column, as the wipers only half work !

I believe it is Toyota going by the key.
it does NOT have the button on the bottom to remove the key.
The hazzards are the left top button, the top one on the right is aftermarket

Hi Mr Cve,
Welcome to the forum and congrats on purchasing your Cobra. Any other pics of your car and running gear details?

Thanks, pics coming soon.
I have to make it pic worthy, she is no show car, wasn't bought for that.
It kinda fell into my lap.
I always said i wouldn't mind a Cobra, but had to be a big block and jag rear end.

Then a few weeks later an opportunity came to sell my missus cruise car, and this came up ( price difference obviously ) so I got it for the missus as her new cruise car !

pics coming soon when it is back together.
only think I would like to sell off it is the minilite 15x7 and 15 x8 rims with brand new tyres, they don't seem to be growing on me !

not sure where you are located, my car is Australian, and the rack was a shortened VB Commodore rack, so i got it from a rack shop.
however my Pantera had the same issue and I took measurements and made one myself from sintered bronze.

Hope that helps.

the measurement one was for my Pantera rack.
if your car is perth, it may be a RMC car, mine was also perth, it used the commodore rack.
I am melbourne, if you need help. there should be a rack rebuilder shop there, i do know Wait Awhile sometimes these things come from over east.
maybe i can source it here and send to you.
