Manual / Power Steering swap - Hilux
Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:08 pm
Dear all,
I am planning an electric conversion of an Extra Cab Hilux 2 wheel drive.
The requirements are that it has 4 seats (for family) and manual steering.
I am lookin at an extra cab verion.
The dual cab occupies too much tray area which I need for batteries.
Take a look at my blog if you are interested.

For the conversion I need a vehicle with manual steering (pre '89) , but the post '89 vehicles have the 'kids' seats in the back have power steering.
Now to my question: Does anyone know if the power steering box from a '89+ is compatible (input spline, Steering Arm, Bolt Pattern) with a pre '89 manual unit.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
