Rack and peanut for my 880

Hi all. Has anyone done a R&P conversion on their C body?
I've had a search and can only see A, B and E kits available.
Mt steering box is shagged out and if i'm going to do the work i figure that an upgrade should be considered.
There is an Aussie company that does it for our models (http://www.pentastarparts.com.au/sto...uct_list&c=962) so maybe there has been something similar done in the States?
Failing that, I will have to get a new/remanufactured 'box from somewhere. Any suggestions on where i could maybe get one of those too would be helpful.

Thanks.
Val

Just busting your chops, I assume you meant rack and pinion? I dialed up Firm Feel Inc when I a needed new steering gear. Don't know if they offer anything for your car but it's worth a call.

All good thanks Mr 4Speed. The peanut thing was a Simpsons refference. I thought you Americans would have got that
Thank you very much for the Firm Feel company. I had never heard of them and it looks like they will have a box and a bunch of other cool stuff too. Much appreciated.

Word, they're a great company. I run their firmest power box with the lash adjusted tight and a 14" steering wheel, it's the stuff dreams are made of. Good luck brother, let us know how you make out.
