PAS Rack Rebuild

Post by e21Keith »

Looking at the 2 PAS racks I have (actually one PAS rack and a collection of random bits) I think I'd like to rebuild or have the rack rebuilt.

Does anyone have any experience of doing this themselves or having it done by a specialist?

Spoke to them today, they'll do a refurb but cant make my PAS rack a quick rack, I'm not so bothered!

But got me thinking about an e46 rack conversion, has anyone done this on their e21?

How much are they charging for the rebuild if you don't mind me asking?

It was over £200 including the shipping both ways. They use APC as the courier who are particularly poor in my area so that has caused a few issues although I believe it was delivered yesterday.

I just ordered a quick ratio kit from them. Rebuilding the rack should not be a big deal. Can make a write up on this👍
