F Flaminr river and Summit, go to your local auto parts store nad buy one. Mine was 89.00 compared to 250.00 for the same thing. Use your power one as a core and you are good to go. The manual tie rod ends are about 10.00 each and you just have to go to the junkyard to find a steering shaft from a manual rack fox body, the power shafts are different
