i've run across a good deal on a PA racing tubular k member, but the only thing is it's set up for the manual steering rack. how much trouble/modification is involved in running a manual rack kit (flaming river specifically) on that setup.
if it's do-able, how much expense/time is involved in making the necessary adjustments?

thanks,

i went that route and do regret it. was kind of a pita to make everything work. just get a standard k-member and get the bolt in manuel rack and then if you want to go back to the power setup later you can. in hindsight that is what i would do.

there will be no reversion to power rack...if i can get it to accept the manual rack, i would be happy...
how much of a pita was it...welding, grinding, what?

standard rack, you mean one that is set up the same as the stock rack, and then boly the manual rack to it...
becuase the rack he has is just the standard rack???

you will need to extend the tie rod ends and buy the correct steering u-joint that fits over the manuel rack. and those parts have to be cut and welded up to work with your existing parts. i got all the parts i needed from applied racing technology. appliedracing.com

yes, madman has a manual rack that bolts into the factory mounts but it is expensive.
