Need Manual Steering rack bellows for Gen 1 33 Hot Rod
Does anyone know where I could get new manual power steering rack bellows for my 33 Hot Rod. It was build in about 2014.
I wonder who manufactured the rack.
I checked the factory five website and didn't see any in the parts department.

I don't know if 1st and 2nd gen are the same but I just replaced the ones on my 2nd Gen and this is the kit I got from Summit. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLA-FR1501B

I don't believe they changed racks Gen1->Gen2. I got a replacement rack fairly recently from FFR, the same one I got in 2017 (Gen1).
I hear the rack was custom - people are only ever buying them from FFR.

OK, I will check out the ones from Summit. I know the one side is a smaller diameter than the other.
Good to know they probably didn't change the rack between generations.
Thanks for the reply's.

I believe it's a Dodge Omni manual rack.

Love all this research! Narrowing this down to a particular one will solve a long-time mystery..

Update:
I bought from Summit the Flaming River kit (FLA-FR1501B) suggested in post 2. I installed it yesterday and it worked great.
Reminder, Gen 1, 33 Hot Rod, circa 2014
Thanks for the input, stacked33

I wonder if the manual rack boots for the MK-4 & Type-65 are the same inner and outer diameters are the 33 Hot Rod Rack?
When I had the same issue with my MK-4 Roadster, I found that MOOG #K150289 worked very well.
I know that the 33 rack is much much shorter but are the inner and outer diameters the same?
Anyway, these bellows have a nice taper and a few more flexibility pleats.
