While I'm pecking away at the fuel system, I took a short detour and installed the F5 supplied "safety loop" for the power steering rack.

I'm assuming builders who recently ordered the F5 power steering option have received (or will soon) this stainless bracket. Mine came a week ago or so, with a tech update document inside the box. Apparently, a very small number of builders have reported receiving their PS rack with damage. Sounds like it has been on the right side mount. I didn't notice any crack in mine, but opted to install the safety loop as a precaution. Factory Five is shipping them out free of charge to add an additional layer of safety.

It comes as uncoated stainless, so I coated it with Eastwood Chassis Black. Install was a cinch since my Coupe is wide open and easily accessible. Just remove the mounting bolt and slip in the safety loop.




Installed: view from the front.

I received two of them, perhaps because the PS rack in my Roadster is new enough (circa 2020)? Not sure if I will install that one, but coated it at the same time so it's ready to go. Will have to take a close look at it next time it's up on the lift.
