did any of you lose some of your turning radius with your racks?
how many turns lock to lock?
anyone fab up there own mounts and use a rac from the pick and pull?

 

I have a unisteer manual on my 65, I come really close to the stops with it. I cant remember the turns being any better than stock though, but if I ever get wider tires reducing the amount of turns would make it hard to steer going slow.

 

Yes, yes and yes. I used a power rack from Flaming river and lost some turning ability. Not sure on the lock to lock, but I would guess it's about 3.5 or 4. I'm fabbing a system from an Isuzu Trooper but am not done. It cost me $30.00 as compared to the $1000.00 plus systems on the market that do nothing more than use a remaned rack from something else.

 

i am going to fab mine in from a escort. the reason i asked a friend has fat man in his 67 and lost abit of turning and he also fab in a escort / tempo one in another car same thing he lost some turning radius.

 

FWIW I still have a tighter radius than my wife's Milan, that thing has a turning radius of a deathstar.
