    Was thinking about getting an RRS steering rack for my Mav but heard they no longer have a US supplier. Has anyone added a rack to their Mav, if so what did you use?

    The Hahn brothers modified a Falcon R&P kit to work on their Mavericks. I believe they came from Total Control Products.

    Well stay away from RRS I bought a complete setup from them for my 64 T-bolt clone customer service is horrible maybe that's why there not in the US anymore.

    Just installed AJE on mine. It looks great. Can't tell you how it drives because I don't have the motor back in yet. Should be very soon though. (y)

    I have a power RRS rack on my '72. I bought it back at the end of 2008 directly from their website, and they shipped it from Austrailia. I did have one problem...they forgot to ship the lower steering column bearing. I had to wait awhile to have them ship one out to me from Down Under, but I eventually got it and the install went rather smoothly. The only issue I've had is that I got the angle of the u-joint from the column to the rack wrong and there is an ever so small amount of binding, so I need to take it apart and fix it at some point. That's my fault though...other than that I've been happy with it.
