Who are the proud 20th Anniversary Kit Owners?

[Jeff Kleiner]

Thick,
If it's truly oval it is probably the filler for the hole in the RH side F panel. This piece too should be coated on the anniversary cars since it's purpose is to cover a hole that is not used with the FFR radiator.

Hey Jeff. True enough, except the RH side F panel provided (and coated) didn't have the donor radiator cutout. Nice. So that oval fill piece isn't required, even though included in the kit.

You guys have made me realize, I need to inventory the panels. Though I've taken inventory (a few times now) of everything else, I have not identified and checked off all panels. Today's the day. My son is coming over today so it will be a nice little project. And, he's a great puzzle solver. This being one of the reasons I haven't tackled it yet.

Jeff, you can call me Jay. I like my handle, but it sounds funny.

You can tell I'm in my garage working on my car by the questions. Just curious, but are all power steering racks remanufactured? And, I guess powder coating is not an option unless I dismantle the unit.?

I don't think you can buy a new PS rack from your local parts store. They'll all be reman's. Even the very nice Unisteer PS rack that Breeze sells is a reman unit. Nothing wrong with a good quality reman PS. Theoretically, the wear parts, seals, etc. are all replaced. I suspect you would have to get into a higher end rack like Flaming River, AGR, etc. to be all new. And be ready to pay for it. No, I don't think you can PC a power steering rack without disassembly. The 400 degree or so oven would not be nice for the boots, O-rings, seals, etc. The Breeze PS rack is powder coated (can you tell I like it?) so I'm assuming they do the coating before assembly.
