Default WTB: NB manual steering rack

Looking for an NB manual steering rack for my MSM Exocet.

I know I'm looking for a unicorn, but if you happen to have a unicorn tied up in your backyard and you aren't riding it, I'd be happy to buy it.

Another option to consider is to properly depower your current rack. I had mine done at MiataCage and am extremely happy with the results. With the lighter-weight Exocet, you won't have any issues with steering effort and the feel is fantastic. Fewer turns lock-to-lock than the factory manual rack too.

Also the manual rack is designed to run a larger steering wheel, so if you drop down to a 350 or something it will get harder to steer. Depowered is the way

Thanks guys. Per your advice I've sent my rack off to MiataCage for the depowering treatment.

Steering is easier with a manual rack than with a depowered rack because it's slower (higher mechanical advantage). Still, depowered is the way to go.
