This new MMST-12.1 Steering Shaft fits the just-redesigned Flaming River manual steering racks.
It also fits the previous generation of Flaming River manual steering racks, as well as OEM Ford manual racks and other aftermarket manual rack brands.
The first generation MM Steering shaft (MMST-12) doesNOTfit the newest Flaming River manual steering racks because Flaming River changed the retention feature on the input shaft on all of their manual steering racks.
The earlier Flaming River racks have a circular groove machined entirely around the input shaft. The newest Flaming River racks have a circular groove only on one side of the input shaft that intersects the shaft in a straight line. The new retention feature prevents use of the MMST-12 Steering Shaft.
