I'm scoping out a steering mod and was wondering if any of you folks would confirm or correct the following information for me:

Steering Rack overall length = 41"

Thread size of the outboard end of the inner tie rod = 9/16-18

Appreciate the sanity check!

Bob, I'm confident the shop that did my modifications still has the measurements. The problem you will encounter is, there isn't a replacement rack that is the right length. We went with a Flaming Rivers rack that was shorter than needed and machined parts to make it longer. It is expensive work but the end result was well worth the effort. No vibration and much smoother handling characteristics.
