In XR's, we have to get a different steering rack all together. (The one we use is a modified pinto rack..lol...that was manual steering from teh start).
It would make since that the only part that would need beefing up would be the shaft leading to the rack. Or maybe the gear and the rack too? I'm trying to think of parts that would now be under more strain since you wouldn't have power assist.
In the modified rack for the XR, I know it has a thicker shaft (stay away perverts), but I'm not sure about the innards.
Maybe that helps?

P.S. Dave - Still need to sandblast?
