Question Steering Rack

Good morning all, been a long time since an update on my build, cold weather had something to do with that!!!!. I was just wondering if any one has altered thier own steering rack? I decided I would give it a try and bought myself a P100 rack from ebay. It came with a cast casing which will make it a little more tricky but i like a challenge. I have put some pictures on my flkr (GSLMarlin). Would appriciate any comments

I was looking at my steering rack today to find some replacement boots and I noticed for the first time that it has SRS126 moulded into the casting.
A quick google suggests that this is a Quinton Hazel part number but I've not been able to find any further details, even from QH on-line catalogue.
The boots are not identical each side with different diameters at the rack end and one boot is longer than the other.
So far, I've found Ford Cortina 2.0 non-assisted s/rack boots look similar.
P100 boots are identical sizes, left and right, so I'm now doubting if Marlin use a P100 rack?
