I was able to reach Steve Wilkinson; he still owns the same (beautiful) fully restored Deauville he had 10 years ago when I first met him. He explained that parts are no longer made for the original rack, and that he ended up using one from a different car in his (but cannot remember from what car). It is not clear if the original was made by ZF or Cam Gear (likely one or the other). I have searched the web for pictures and if I were a betting person I would bet on Cam Gear. I dropped off the old rack a week back at a small shop in Pasadena, Master Steering, to see what they can do to get it going again. Will update this thread if I have new news. Thanks!
