123 manual steering box?

anybody have a manual steering box for a 123? i would like to convert my 280e euro to reduce weight for autocrossing.

anybody know if it was offered? or if a manual box from a 115 will bolt in for sure?

i still am wondering if the 115 box will fit a 123. they did have manual steering available.

my 220d had it and it was sweet! only time it was a chore was parallel parking.

but it was nothing compared to my 51 caddy hearse after i put radials on it!

yeah, that was back when all i could afford was hearses and ambulances. this one was a low mileage hearse from north dakota. it had only 42k miles on it and was pretty cherry in most respects. it really drove nicely.
