i dissagree 100%, i looked into the mk5 rack and it was nothing like close.
for starters its too wide.
second its mounted in a totally different way.
thirdly the steering connecter is in the wrong place and is a short stubby piece that needs the large circle adapter to work.
i had about 3 of these kicking about and i tried everything to use one but it just aint gonna happen.
the fiesta rack might be closer but will still mount different.
nissan bluebird rack was the closest but stil wasnt right at the steering colum
