Count me in.

There's gotta be one more person who wants to do this.

That's how my '91 is sitting right now.... Easiest time to pull the rack out.

My car doesn't have an engine in it right now either

Chris, How 'bout I trade you a rack for the shell in WI! I can't believe I missed that by a few hours... drat.

Wolf/Chris, You both have some time to decided.

Just posted a group buy on 3stech as well as here on 3SI:

It's not in WI anymore, lol.

If I traded the shell, what would I put the rack in?

Good point... did you pick the car up already?

Yep, made for a long and interesting road trip. Still in the trailer covered in snow and ice.

Clint -
Technical question I have been wondering about:
Do you think there are any potential strength issues created regarding
any splined connections, etc in the system by removing the mechanical
advantage provided by the hydraulics? That is, hypothetically, if the rack
was designed as a manual type from the get go by Mitsubishi, would you
have expected any differences in the splined connection(s). Depth, qty, etc....
I am mainly referring to the connection between the shaft and rack....
Thanks,
Aaron
