  I can indeed get to the mounting bolts in the "left" wheelwell on this side of the pond, but with a 20V conversion and having switched to vacuum brakes the fittings are unreachable.
  Would any Euro lister be interested or able to send me a kit from the "hinter-land"?
  It would set me back quite a bit time wise, but I would like to get this done.

?

Of course you can service the rack with the tranny in - you do it through
the right wheel well.

We had no problem sourcing a rebuild kit about three months ago - South
Hereford Audi didn't even comment.

Well after calling the usual sources it appears these service kits are nla.
There were 2 supposedly left in the US. Computer was incorrect and the 2
kits did not exist on the shelf.
Isn't there a source that rebuilds the racks?  I thought I remembered some
list talk about owners sending them to a company that handled it like the
Shokan House of Hose does the power steering units? If so - where do they
get their parts? 
I really want to get the tranny back in the URQ, but there will be no way to
service the rack once its in.

Yes the seal is available as a service kit from audi .
11498020B
It contains several o-rings , the seal you need , and a couple of sleeves 
nd mounting aids .
he sleeves are needed to protect the seal from damage when sliding it on .
It's explained in detail in the audi 90/Coupe bentley cd-rom with drawings 
nd how to's .
he cd I've got is Windows98 only , and I can't get it to run under XP .

 While the tranny is out of my URQ, I thought it would be a good time to 
 look at the leaking rack.
 I have a spare that I took apart and found the seal that needs to be 
 renewed. It's not that complicated really.
 Is the seal available - and if so from where?
