Default Manual Steering rack, and short belt mod.

Did some steering rack surgery to remove the pistons and hydraulic guts and power steering mess. Should be good for 10hp and 8-10 lbs, until someone makes a bolt-in manual rack with a better ratio. Not recommended for anybody who doesn't have skinnies on the front

Look ma, you can see the driver's head!


The issue


The solution


The rack minus all hydraulic seals and components



Short belt mod - I have a 2013 bracket and idlers on order, but who knows when they will show up. Clearance is tight, but it clears. You have to go to 2 bolts on the alt bracket instead of 3, and relocate the idler pully.
