have mig will mod :D

im gonna go steal my mates mig tomorrow when he is at work :D :D :D

my idea would be to take some good pics of scott's power steering bracket and build something similuar out of 6mm steel with bracing

im guessing that the standard one is a cast iron part but im sure its possible with some time and stress lol

Haven't done it yet, but I have a hilux pwr steer box to mod and install. I believe this is a common one.

I have a 307, so I won't tell you about the pump and the hard time I am having with that........

damn cheap engine conversion kit......

Ring Eureka Off Road (03) 9706 8229 in Dandenong Melbourne.

Ken does a full bolt on kit using a toyota crown power steering box. While you are there have a look at his SWB 40 with 44" rubber, shackle reversal & a stroker V8.

Yeah spoke to ken awhile back but he said he was only doing power steering conversions on trucks he builds. Will give him a call though he might be able to supply a pump with brackets

I have a BJ42 factory power stering pump and box if you want it. Comes with front disc brake front end, new radiator, new battery, and remainder of car, currently registered and driving, but selling unregistered in QLD. All this could be yours for the small sum of $3,500 ono.
But wait there is more I will also give you a 45 cruiser trayback as well if you wish.

I do not get to log in to often so if interested call me on 0419 647 186.
