Reply to "MR2 Rack in Pantera"

Funny you should mention that, since I have that whole rig in my garage, waiting for Spring. The tapered tierod ends will fit the Pantera steering arms and the reservoir is remote-mounted to the electric pump. There are two brain-boxes for the speed control to vary the amount of assist. This will be the difficult part. The mount to the Pantera body will also be a challenge since the power rack is about half the length of the Pantera's Cam-Gears rack. FYI, without variable assist, most/all the power steering Panteras are radically over-boosted, making them feel totally 'dead' while driving. Since the biggest problem is driving the pump, I'd suggest you use the stock 4.6-liter pump, string your lines & use the Mustang 2 rack. It's a little slower ratio, so you might continue to look around for a better power rack. Note- this adaption is difficult,and IMHO not needed unless you are physically challenged, running 11" wide front tires plus doing mostly city driving, parallel parking etc. This is the intent of my future adaption incidently.
