Servotronic module wiring? And a bad plan

[Heavy351]

I love the D2s .. at the moment am at a place I hope you have been already..

MikkiJayne's ExxonMobil Valdez has my exact issue:

The steering servotronic module: mine rotted right through the cover have a new(er) one with a connector (from a BMW) with10" of cable that all fits... where does the other end plug into ? Want to pull it all out and crimp and shrink tube it right..

Second question: the teenage monkey that pulled a used rack for me opened the cover where the lash adjustment is set(?!) Why will never be determined. The cover on this unit was not marked or pinned so opened right up. And it appears the internal spring is gone now. Have dial indicator and the zf manual for the rack and was considering measuring the backlash in my violently leaking old rack and moving the spring and setting up the newer rack to be identical. Trying to figure out how to hold it correctly..
Am I crazy? Thanks for the read.
