I found an original Mustang II manual rack and pinion in a guy's junk pile.  It looks like someone tried to replace something inside.  One of the inner ends is pulled out about a foot.

Is there any way to re-assemble this, or should I put it back in the scrap.  I was hoping to put it back together as a spare since both of my cars have one.

Suggestions?

thx

I've had one apart to shorten it. Not much there, the rack, a pinion gear on the input shaft, and a couple inner tie rod ends. The inner ends are screwed on the rack, and locked with a pin. The pin does not go all the way through, so it has to be drilled out.
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.
