Rack and Pinion parts list?

I thought I saw a thread in here with the parts needed to build your own manual rack and pinion set-up, and now I cant find it...
I got a great deal on a Flaming River FR1501 manual rack, it fits my Spohn K member but seems like the arms are too long, the threaded ends are almost even with the spindles!

Anybody have a list of needed parts?
Thanks!!

I cut and welded my inner tierods to the right size, then called Racecraft for a bumpsteer kit. I see you posted on YB so you should get pretty good advice over there also.

Re: Rack and Pinion parts list?

I'm also pretty interested in the rack and pinion setups I've seen people do lately. There isn't a real comprehensive thread on this board covering the rack. Is it pretty much a unanimous decision that thirdgeners have to get a tubular Kmember to start with the mounts for the rack, and then shorten the tie rod ends or get different spindles?

In that case, i'm kinda dissapointed, i might just have to fab some mounting locations on the stock k-member or figure something else out. Really wanted to make an electric rack and pinion setup work sometime too if I could.
