Fox Mustang rack and pinion max pressure?

[Wade]

Glenn, I am under the impression that the stock flow on a Mustang rack is 2.0 GPM. I just picked up a KRC pump with attached reservoir and did the AN conversion on the rack. If you are running a fox rack, then there is no reason for you not to be running a newer rack. The inner tie rods are interchangeable and the steering feel is supposed to be much better. Here is the link to the adapter fittings. You can buy off the shelf stuff and cross thread it into the hole, but I could not find anywhere else that had the correct metric fittings to convert to AN.

Thanks Wade.
I had 2 sources tell me it is 1.3 after I posted this. Pressure doesn't seem to be the main issue. 1100 to 1300 psi is not an issues with these racks.
I am using this rack as it is what came with the kit.
Is there a better year to pull from that is compatible?

I also still need to convert the tie rods over to rodends. Ford tie rods dont seat well in GM spindles.

The 2000 Conbra R is supposed to be the best, followed by 2003-04 Cobra. But, good luck finding any of that stuff in usable condition for cheap. I just bought aused 2000 rack from the autoparts store. Figured it was better (due to the internal design) than the fox, so any improvement was better than what I had. Yes, pressures can vary and the rack seems to be able to handle most in the range. I bought the rod ends from MM, but circle track stores will likely be cheaper. The Fox rack has standard inner tie rods, and the 1994 and newer racks have metric inner tie rods that at 3/4" longer per side. Get whichever you want, they are interchangeable, and then buy rod ends to suit your needs. Sounds like fun!
