Yeap, just look on the Left End of the Rack to see that it has CAM GEARS cast in to it. If you don't see it, then don't go any further with it.

I do have a 'How To' but not (yet) posted in ausmini. PM me your email address and I'll send it. They are quite easy to do.

Or the Doc does them,

Or you can get the Doc's ones off the shelf at Mini King.

Sorry but no parts are available for Rover ones. I have one here wanting an inner tierod joint.
Blame aunty Rover for going broke... :x

I rebuilt an Oz one for Maxi23, and he fitted it to his Rover. Said it was the best rack he'd had, except turning circle is a bit bigger than later racks.
