One other thing to remember, and I'm not sure if this would apply to you TVR, but there are aftermarket companies who usually make all the necessary seals needed to properly rebuild a rack for most makes and models. As with so many other things, this is not out there for the SVX. Also, the fact that yours is a manual rack will have a big difference on price as there aren't anywhere near the amount of seals.
Currently, the only place to get new seals is directly from Subaru. That is why I mentioned that in the future the price could go down if I'm able to find compatible seals and O-rings by comparing the OEM to what else might be out there.
