Manual Rack Mounting Brackets
 
So I have power steering on my FC. I happen to like the feeling off manual steering. My question is aside from the manual rack are the mounting brackets different between the power steering rack and manual steering rack?

same mounting for both.

just convert your PS rack to manual. its not that hard.

The large four-bolt locating bracket (driver side) is the same.
The other end is different- the manual rack has a smaller diameter on the passenger side, so be sure to get the bracket with the rack (and the bushing, too).

Clokker thanks that was what I thought was the difference. I prefer to do everything legit. My family works in the steering rack business and they hate it when people just plug up power steering racks. Most people plug them in wrong and make an air bubble in the system, which eventually leads to the steering wheel locking up while you are driving on the road.
