4/27 Mounting my Power Steering Rack and installed my headers!

Got my new PS rack yesterday (paint is crap, peeled right off when I pulled off a sticker!)
Installed the Breeze off-set bushings (to lower and center the rack) required that I remove some metal from the rack mounts. Rough marked the locations (I taped them off before starting the grinding).

ok, then I broke out the grinder! That was hard to start wacking on a brand new chassis!

Fits great now! (next I need to strip the rack and properly prime & repaint it)

Also installed my new headers! (I feel like I'm missing a step(?) :confused:

I need to align the rack now and pick up a set of tie-rod ends.
I installed the steering shaft, bushings, and wheel.
I received the threaded rod-ends from FFR for the IRS (they were on back order), but I still don't have the mounting bolts (they said they were sending them with the other parts, but they didn't) so the IRS will wait and I'll finish up mounting the front calipers next.
Not looking forward to running the brake lines.
