Default Rack and pinion alternatives?

Need to swap my rack and pinion since it's starting to act up, has been slow leaking since I got it (85k miles, now has 117k) was looking into the pedders one but I'm just finding out something is up with them and a lot of people have been having problems getting parts, is there anyone else that makes a similar better ratio rack?
Will probably get it rebuilt as a last resort...

Thanks in advance

The only other one I have heard of is the Pedders Fast Rack. It has to come from Australia if you can even get it anymore. A lot of people are having a very hard time getting ahold of Pedders lately. Your best bet may be to get a used one from somebody parting out a car.

Dammit, alright I'll probably just buy a new remanufactured one, seeing the price of the pedders USA one I'm good on getting one shipped from over seas lol
Thanks for the info

I'm not far from you and have a rebuildable core if that helps. I'll let it go for a reasonable price.

Pedders no long sells the fast steering rack which is too bad, it does make a difference.
