Would anyone be interested in Wide angle kits for 86-88 Manual racks?

I bought a super angle kit awhile ago and have decided to go to a manual rack....problem is I got myself a 86-88 rack which has a different size thread on the passenger side then the driver side. Now I am going to take my angle kit down to a machine shop in the near future and get a quote for special spacers just for the passenger side? Would anyone else want to get in on this? If so I will simply have the machine shop crank out a few extras.

Ok i just went to a local machine shop and they are going to turn me out a prototype Passenger side spacer for the manual rack. Once I get mine and make sure it fits and if the cost is right I will see about getting more made. Just let me know so I can get an idea of how many I will have to have made....There is also a chance it might not be cost effective but I wont know that until I get mine.

Yeah actually I had one made and already have it installed. The adapter for the manual rack passenger side is silver the one from mazdatrix for the driver side and power steering rack is gold. You will have to replace your passenger side tie rod with one from the power steering rack or another from the driver side manual rack. Since there just wasnt enough room in the spacer to use the larger thread size without damaging the integrity of the piece.

I can get the passenger side ones made for 75 + shipping so ~80 bucks....i spent 135 for mine...but I paid for all the cad work and the machine programing....Im not looking to make a kit...but I can get as many of the passenger adapters as you guys want....Then you could just get the mazdatrix/supernow/ect kit.

Its the exact same amount of space as the mazdatrix/supernow/ect kits.

It is made to replace the spacer on the passenger side to allow the kits to work on a 86 to 88 manual rack. So you need the adapter, a power steering tie rod inner, and the mazdatrix or other brand wide angle kit.

Ill have to get ahold of my machine shop but yes I should be able to get them. I cant remember if the price changed or not so I will have to check. To save me some running around I would like to get a few people to order all at once so I dont have to keep ordering them 1 by 1.
