Out of all the rack kits, does anyone make one right?

.....I made that slide bar to support that end of the piece connecting the the inner tie rod ends to the r&p...

You might want to be careful with this design as I'm pretty sure RRS has a patent on it. At least check it out first, because it is a worthwhile addition.

Yes, I know it says so on their website, but what´s the number of their patent? Their company name is not in the worldwide patent database. Does their patent cover Sweden too?

Sorry, I can't help you there. Send them an email, they'll probably let you know. They seem to be pretty knowledgable in business and as a major market for them is the USA I'd be guessing it's a worldwide patent, but i couldn't say for sure.

What I meant with the "worlwide patent database" is that all patents in the world can be found in one database. There is no such thing as a single worlwide patent, every patent is more or less country specific and also usually have different time limitations, that´s why my questions.

I'd go for the Rod & Custom (http://www.rcmotorsports.net/) kit. It's complete, uses Ford R&P (so pump pressure will not be a problem) and their support is great. Mike

I wouldnt worry about that patent you cant patent something that exsist already, just because you modified it.
