Hey lQQking for non Power rack thanks Karl 1-352-302-245 six tearoffguys at gmail.com
I was looking for a manual rack recently and found that the powered racks are actually slightly quicker. Depowered racks are the more common solution in spec miata than the manual racks.
Unless you weld the shuttle, de-powering a Miata rack leaves a slight amount of play that the factory manual rack wont have.
Had no one mentioned this bit of play, I might never have noticed. Now that I know about it, it might not be acceptable. My thoughts are that I will most likely end up going back to powered rack or electric assist, so wont worry about it for now.
I did do a search for a manual rack since it would have a ratio that is easier on the driver's arms, but they are not that common.

What's your timeline?
I have one I could bring to challenge or ship you from Chicago. I also know very little about it at the moment (came with a big car parts pile I bought - boy am I a sucker for car part piles). I can take a better look next weekend when I get home.
