Default mad man's rack (no pun)

when using mad mans rack on a BMR k member do you have to get the pinto an manual rack setup or will it work with the standard power steering rack?

i ask because on the mad man rack it says it will work with stock Kmember.

His rack will work with any K-member that will except a stock rack. His is based off the stock setup. It will fit on a BMR. I have Madman rack with all BMR upfront. You do have to weld the tab to the K-member but other then that it is a bolt on peice that saves alot of weight.

The steering column is the same either way. The pinto set up is similar to mine. The main difference is it doesnt have a steering linkage, or tierods, or bumpsteer kit. All this you will have to fab up. My kit comes with all the parts.

so i could still use my factory wheel? and yours is a complete bolt-on kit (with a little welding)?

sounds like a very nice piece.

Everything in the car is factory.

My rack bolts on to the factory holes and requires one tab to be welded on.
