Color was inspired by CSX 3050.

I am certainly going with the quick ratio rack. The only question is ERA suppling it or am I. Peter’s machinist confirmed the pinion could be splined and shortened on a Bridgeport as I suggested.

Original Cobras were 2 turns lock to lock. My 2012 Mustang GT is 2.25 turns lock to lock - yes that is power assist.

I have never driven a Cobra with 15:1 steering. Regardless of whether you have power assist on it, I wonder whether I would think it to be "twitchy" or not.

My Mustang is a joy to drive. Not twitchy at all.

The Cobra will have manual steering with a similar rate to the originals.
