Flaming River 1963-82 Corvette Power Rack and Pinion Cradle Kits FR312PW

Flaming River's hydraulic power rack and pinion cradle kit, part FR312PW, converts a 1963-82 Chevrolet Corvette from its original steering setup to hydraulic power-assisted rack and pinion, bolting into the car's existing mounting locations. What the kit includes A hydraulic power-assist steering rack, made of steel in a natural finish Mounting brackets and hardware The steel rack provides 6.000 in. of travel and does not come with a steering column or tie rod ends, so those pieces need to be sourced separately or reused from the car. Installation is described as a direct bolt-on, without cutting or welding, using the Corvette's original mounting points. Fitting it Because the kit is designed for the 1963-82 C2 and C3 generation Corvette specifically, confirm the car's model year falls in that range before ordering, and plan for an alignment after installation, since any steering geometry change can affect toe and handling until it is checked.
