Power Rack And Pinion Reassembling Transmission Lock Column
Although you can weld the bearing to the end of the shaft, we decided to drill holes and use blue Loc-Tite to secure the screws in place. If you ever have to get into the column again, this is the way to go.

Power Rack And Pinion View Of Installed Rack
This view of the installed rack shows two things. First, you can see the generous ground clearance the Randall's system provides.

Power Rack And Pinion View Of Installed Steering System
Here's an overall view of the new system installed-you can see how much room there is. The Randall's rack-and-pinion conversion, combined with the JBA headers, is by far the cleanest install we've done to date.
