manual rack

[alv69]

looking for a manual rack for a roadster that is at least 3.5 turns lock to lock, have a 2.5 now and want to try the different ratio.

I should have one. Let me do some digging around the 'parts department". What vintage car? At a minimum it will need a different steering shaft adapter and may require a different shaft altogether.

Wow.. I bet that makes for stiff steering..I have the FR 15:1 rack, and it takes a bit of muscle at parking lot speeds..

You should find the U-joint shaft adapter you have will still work, if they are both Flaming River racks.
Flaming River produced both 20:1 & 15:1 ratio racks, for the 87-93 Mustang. Now unless FFR changed the length of the steering shaft, for the MK4, FFR's optional manual adapter (not the one used for the de-powered donor rack), should work interchangeably...

3.5 turns lock to lock. Was installed in a roadster that I converted to power while it was still in roller stage. $125 shipped in the Continental US
