What is everyone doing for manual steering and manual brakes in their C5 / C6?

Jay Garlington at Mayhem Motorsports is looking into the steering setup for my car. I'll let you know what he comes up with for me. Corvette Forum member DBN has already done the manual steering rack without going to the tubular stuff so I'm expecting to duplicate his setup.

I am using a Stiletto manual steering rack and Strange drag brakes. I have a custom steering rack mount that I used with the Stiletto rack that mounts it to the factory cradle. $100 plus shipping. PM me if interested.

Did you call ECS? Or did you expect Doug to reply immediately on a Sunday night?

My bad. For some reason I misread a couple replies and thought that you had the two replies 2 hours apart. Thought, "geesh, what's this guys expect?" Lol.

Back to normalcy now.

Back in the day, ECS developed some great drag racing parts. Hopefully, Doug can find some goodies left over for you guys.

Email is answered everyday including weekends (always the best way to contact us) and there are four people in the office answering phones, we do our best but at the end of the day we just get 100+ calls a day of people who just want to talk cars with no intention of buying anything. Or my personal favorite "hi I have a Z&Z supercharger kit, can you help me with a problem".

It takes away from the good customers like yourself which I apologize for.
