    Did you ever find a part number for the rack?
    I need to replace the boots on my Gen 1 33.
    I tried Flaming River but don't see their name on the rack, so it isn't one of theirs.
    Unisteer was no help either.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    i understood them to be made in Taiwan specifically for FFR. There is no cross to a mainstream unit but boots are available if you search in the forums hard enough.

    Someone told me that this is a Dodge Omni rack. I do not know if that is true or not, That's just what i heard. I looked at Unisteer for Dodge Omni and here's the page ..... https://www.unisteer.com/collections/rack-pinions/omni

    I looked at the web site. Thank you!
    The boot looks very close to what I need.
    I may order a set and hope they work.
    Thanks again for the input.

    If all you need is a boot. Look at Moog K150289

    I tried the Moog K150289 as suggested. It fit perfectly on the driver side. of the rack. However, the Bellows on the passengers side is completely different. As I have researched it, the FLA-FR1501-P is the one for the passenger side.
    In the picture below we are holding the Moog K150289 in the left hand and the Flaming River FLA-FR1501-P in the right hand. Picture 2 is the passenger side Tie Rod end.
