I have an alumicraft sand car with an old HOWE manual steering rack. I included measurements below and attached photos. Does anyone know of an exact replacement? Or even better, do anyone have one of these in their garage they would be willing to sell? 

Length: 10.5"

Depth: 2.25"

Mounting width: 6" center of bolts

It is different. Only the outer face place moves on mine. The one in you link will likely hit my upper arm. 

 
Found this old product brochure. Looks like it is part number 115.

I have a 118 i ordered on accident, $350 and someone can have it, new never used, getting dusty on the shelf

The gear one regular rack was a direct replacement for the HOWE. The super rack would not fit because it hits the upper arms and it has larger mounting bolts.

How much wider is the super rack?  I assume this is why it is hitting the upper arms when they drop?

 
super rack

length - 12"     width - 2.475"

standard rack 

length - 10.625"   width - 2.050"

mounting bolts/ holes are larger on super rack so the mounting plate on your car would probably need the holes drilled out.
