Steering Rack Problems 200

I recently purchased an '86 240 Wagon that had been in a small accident that destroyed the front subframe and ther steering rack. I have been working on it steadily. The old frame and rack are out, and the new frame is in.

Now I have a few problems

1) I just can't seem to get the u-joint back onto the steering shaft. I currently have the joint on the rack, and I am attempting to link it back up with no luck. Anyone have some advice.

2) The bigger problem is the screws attaching the rack to the subframe. The old rack used two U shaped bolts. The new rack, a zf?, uses a u bolt on the passenger side and two seperate bolts on the driver's side. Any idea where I can find these bolts, or what size they are? I really need to get this car back on the road.

Thanks guys,

-Robert
