Thanks!

Did you see one of my posts saying that the ratio of the FC manual rack was not ideal? The FD rack, if converted to full manual operation, is a better solution. I've posted information on the Maval Gear conversion in other threads, BTW.

Jim,
I saw that it was a different ratio, but honestly am too naive about such things to know the difference. Would a converted FD rack be quicker/lighter than the FC? Info welcome.

1986-87 FC manual rack
Ratio: 20.3:1
Turns: 3.5 lock to lock (left to right)
1993-95 FD converted manual rack
Ratio: 15.0:1
Turns: 2.9 lock to lock
The FD rack would definitely be quicker to respond to steering wheel input.

FYI, the FC rack is DEFINATELY a noticeable difference, as Jim states. I run it, and don't really like it. Not nearly as comfortable to navigate in turns. That difference is ratio made a real difference...
