Re: Who Makes a True Bolt-in Manual Rack? brian, i'm using one of your manual racks w/ an LT1 and stock k-member. if i got a BMR or PA Racing k-member and lower A-arms, would your rack still fit and would there be any modifications needed? i had to drill out my stock A-arms originally. thanks.

Re: Who Makes a True Bolt-in Manual Rack? My racks fit all k-members that will take the factory P/S rack. If you have one of my racks on a stock k-member then you can put it on an aftermarket one.
JS, the rack is a bolt on you have to weld one bracket to your k-member for a support. Everything else is a bolt on that you can do in your garage.

I guess I got to TIG weld the support bracket onto my moly k-member if I want to go to one.

My car is down a hill in a polebarn with inches of snow between it and freedom, so, anytime soon, it won't be driving anywhere. Take care.
