Everyone,

I'm working on a '85 740 Turbo project and I am thinking of converting to manual steering for simplicity. I am thinking of two options

1.) Simply keeping the PS rack and plugging the appropriate hoses. This would be easy but I feel like the steering effort would be way too high. Any experience with this?

2.) Swapping in a manual rack from a early 240. I am thinking that this would give a much better steering feel but I am not sure how interchangeable the 2's and 7's are in terms of racks. Has anyone attempted this? Are the racks interchangeable at all between the 2's and the 7's?

Any other options for manual steering on the 7/9's?

Thanks!
Brian
