Steering rack
Can anyone tell me how different the manual and steering rack internals are ?
I am considering a Quaife quick rack and pinion in a p/s housing using the p/s assistance.
Thanks, TC

I don't actually know but my stock PS assisted rack is only 2.5 turns... that's quite quick. Probably you may find one for a dozen of quid and just check if it would fit

Not even a chance of doing that. Completely different due to the pinion design/spool valve/etc...

P/S racks are way different than the Manual ones, that's how. They also don't give you as much angle.
