PS to Manual Rack
i was wondering if anyone knew a place that could convert the s5 TII rack to a manual rack.I would just buy a manual rack but i heard that the manual one is rather sluggish and that the PS rack has shorter distances lock to lock.Also i really don't know if they made a manual rack that fits a 91 turbo model.

ps to manual steering
I believe if you do a search you can find what you're looking for. There are several threads that give you instructions to do it yourself.
Good luck, Terry

There's a very helpful link in the second gen archive.
I believe you can purchase manual racks, however the gearing is alot longer 1:20 vs 1:15.1/1:17.4
