Default After market rack and pinion conversion kit

OK would I really like to get rid of this so I'm dropping the price to $799 and I will still pay for shipping it's over $1400 new. It's a Vette Brakes "Rack Attack" will fit 1966- 1979 small block C3's The kit doesn't have miles or hours of use but minutes and the length of a block and up onto a truck for transport, it worked very well. I installed this kit a couple of years ago but have decided to return the steering and suspension back to stock. The kit literally has 20 mins of use, enough to verify it's function.

Who's kit is it? It looks like a power steering rack? Was it for a specific year range?
Part number maybe?
Thank,

Jay

Which is identical to the Steeriods rack and pinion system. Sorry I should have included that info.

It's ALMOST identical to the steeroids; it actually has heavier duty brackets, if I'm not mistaken. This is a great deal for someone.

Does it include the Powersteering hoses that run to the PS pump? (they're not pictured)


For what it's worth there are a few different high-pressure hoses for different years of C3 Corvettes. I bought a Steeroids 2nd hand from someone just like this that included the 80-82 high pressure hose; my 79 needed a slightly different hose.

-If anyone needs an 80-82 hose; I'd give it to them if they pay shipping; it's brand new and still in the original bag.

This thing is $1,499.99 @ VB&P right now; someone is going to get a hell of a good deal! -If I didn't already own one, I would've bought this one.

Thanks, Adam, I don't have the hoses because I used it with a Hydrostatic brake conversion which uses a different hose set up but I believe that you can the stock PS hoses.

What years is this for? I see on the VBP site there are 2 different c3 versions. And in their picture there is another set of u-joints on the steering shaft, is that missing also or just a misrepresentation on the website photo?

thanks,
Colt

What is the difference between the small block version and a big block version. I have a BB but it is originally a SB car.
