<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The problem or failure of the racks, was that the tube separates or pulls out from the pinion housing. </span>
</div>
<div class="default-style" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">With the post 2010 updated TR3 kit, the rack is mounted by the rack tube to a bracket spanning between the frame members with u-bolts similar to TR4-6. The pinion housing is not supported, only the tube. The earlier, pre-2010 Moss TR3 conversion kit as well as Bastucks new kits, used individual brackets with the pinion housing being clamped on one side and the end of the tube on the other side. This design secures the housing to tube connection and doesn't allow the parts to separate. </span>
</div>
<div class="default-style" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Moss sells a rack safety securing kit, but it is only supposed to prevent complete separation and total loss of steering. </span>
</div>
<div class="default-style" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I haven't looked at the TR6 unit that Bastuck sells, but the TR3 part seems to be a quality item, compared to the others I have recently held in my hands from Moss. Much better. </span>
</div>
<div class="default-style" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Even the Bastuck rack was not expensive, ~$200. </span>
</div>
<div class="default-style" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica,arial,sans-serif; color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Communicating with Bastuck was not easy. </span>

Greg,

<div>
I've noticed Moss does have this verbiage with their currently supplied racks. Likely a CYA measure from their legal department.

Pop’s had one of the quick racks fail on track at the Kastner Cup in 2014. We sent it back to Moss and they supposedly redesigned the rack and improved it. They sent him a replacement for free.

You may want to reach out to Moss and get the story on what design changes they made if you are interested.

<p style="margin: 0.1rem 0px; line-height: 1;">Thanks - based on the cheaper price at $286, the BPNW quick rack must be the lower quality Argentine version, than the stock one for $441 which they clearly state is made in Germany.</p>

Mark,
</div>
<div>
The lower cost quick racks are described as "not suitable for competition use". Made in Argentina if I'm not mistaken. I've heard stories of these failing on the track.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
On my GT6, I've been running the Made in Germany version sourced from BPNW with good luck.
</div>
<div>
I see they also offer that in the TR6 fitment.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This is the stock ratio, not a quick version.
