Title: rack and pinions
Post by: Bigtimmay on June 12, 2010, 07:26:17 PM
well since ill have the motor outta the way for a lil bit im really wanting to swap in a manual rack and ditch the powersteering and the extra weight. Im not a options kinda guy i want base model everything except the motor there i want it nice/built. Least amount of weight and the most power i can get.   

That being said i been told Mustang II racks supposedly fit pintos/bobcats is this true?
The rack im looking at is on ebay 220 BIN and like 30 bucks shipping comes with bushing,bolts,inner and outer tie-rods and dust boots.
It says its 16 inchs from center to center of the mounting holes dont know if thats what it is on my bobcat or not?

Plus its nice and clean and shiney and the outer tie rod ends are Stainless steel.

Humm i like this one too id love to get rid of the rag joint but for how much they want extra i could prolly buy the parts myself and build a new steering rod.

Flaming river makes a manual rack w/16" centers that fits both Pinto and MII, I just picked up a new one, $180 total. Don't pay more than that, check EBAY, you can get a good deal.
