Steering Rack End Bush

In the never ending quest to get 1424 registered over here the fix one problem find the next dance continues...

With the possibility of first inspection being imminent I thought it would be a good thing to get the wheels aligned so its as good as it could be for the roadworthy slalom test.

Turns out all the suspension bushes should be replaced (they are a little perished so all cool, it'll be better for it), Rack Boots and there's some play in the RHS steering rack end. Tie rods are all good.

Suggestion was to get a new steering rack end. Asked Joe in Sydney if he had one and he's suggested that perhaps its just a bush that needs to be replaced preferrably with a brass one there as the originals are prone to perishing breaking.

Took off the perished boot to find this... Tipping there should be a bush where that big hole is at the end of the steering rack..?
