Thank you all for your input I had visions of spending more hard earned money to get the rack completed. I guess using a WS-G5483T module in a Cat 3550-24 could do the trick. If there is no real requirement then maybe not worth investing.
To add on to Marco's comments. I found that often the Gig interface between CAT1 and CAT2 was to be disabled in many of the labs.
