This is of the quick steer box we put on the car. This was a request from our customer. The box is a 2:1 ratio which will quicken the steering. This was not a very fun thing to install but it is in now. If anyone wants to do this they can contact me (click on my name).

This is a 85 Chevette power rack. Not to bad to install, required moving both mount locations and designing a new mount for the right side. The Chevette PS pump is also very nice and compact.

You'll notice I've replaced all the hex bolts with hex socket bolts. They are all torqued correctly according the the manual. It does seem silly that, for instance, the bolts on the steering rack get 21 ft/lbs, not 20 or 25. Does that mean at 20 it'll fall off? I've used blue lock tight on everything just in case.
