Re: Bolt in steering rack
Before final assembly, we noticed that one of the u-bolts was hitting the crossmember so the excess thread was cut off. You will need to check this

Re: Bolt in steering rack

Re: Bolt in steering rack
Rob,
you did not mention anything about driver side motor mount or requirement of notching the frame for tie rods. Can you confirm that the only modification required is the lip on the crossmember and the frame steering shaft hole/frame clearance. A complete install pic would really be nice prior to us phoning for the discounted price. Looks good so far

Re: Bolt in steering rack
Taking a second look I see that in the pic for making clearance on bottom frame leg for the rack that the rack boots will be well bellow frame.

Re: Bolt in steering rack
Yes, that pump is fine, you wil need to change the end of the pressure hose. Does the six cyl mount use the back two holes? (there are three on the top of the frame)

Re: Bolt in steering rack
The way I read it, if your mount is in the rear two holes, you're set. Mine is in the front two.

Re: Bolt in steering rack
crap.....this means I'd have to relocate the motor/trans and shorten the d-shaft.
my mounts are in the front holes...which I thought was the proper sbc mounting location? ![]()

Looks like I'm back to my plan of ditching the rag joint for a U-joint and getting a quick ratio steering box. Shame, this does look nice.

Re: Bolt in steering rack
In looking at the kit seems as if it would be simple enough to modify the steering linkage to work with front mounting hole. The mounting and other components are the hard part with a little tweaking this should work fine.

Re: Bolt in steering rack
We took a look at that, and it seams that if you moved the pass through hole back, to be centered between the front two holes, everything would work fine. This would require drilling through both the motor mount and the chassis.
