X2 give us the good oil

i'm keen.

sounds good id be up for it

yep.

What's in it/involved?

may be interested

yeah. im interested.

will the power steer reduce bump steer and eliminate steering wheel play?

if so, count me in later down the track (when i can afford it).

Why not just post it regardless? it's not a popularity contest.

Steve.

when it takes a few hours to do a good cad drawing...and u have a new born to look after ...you can see i don't want to waste me time!...fair enough?

there you are mate... plenty of blokes keen as am i.


now that you have everyones attention lets see it.

Its cement two table spoons of cement and a glass of Milk and harden the F#@k up. Concrete is the finished product of adding water sand, gravel and the binder which is cement, the concrete has all ready gone hard.

Yes Im interested in the drawings for a a mates project would be much appreciated.....

yes please

im interested on how to do it

we use concrete cos its stronger down here... i guess qld'ers will always be soft jokes.

mate whenever you can get those drawings up it would be awesome. take your time.

nobody is going to be that desperate they need them for tonight.

good on you for going out of your way. cheers [/quote]

edit sorry northern territorians.

yep im interested to.

if you have a 2inch body lift it will be easier.
can use pitman arms from jimny cressida crown and landcruiser.
intermediate shaft will bolt straight up with rubber coupling.[ same bolt pattern]
just have to make hoses up.

Great work! Any preferded pitman arm for a Sierra with no body lift?

Any bolt on powersteering pumps?

i always use cressida ones.if you have a g13b. you will have to make a pump arangement.if you have a 1.6 just use vit stuff.

what exactly is the mx 32/62 box off as in what toyota. im trying to find jimny power steering for my jimny but prices are totally crap.

cheers mark

What makes the cressida box better than a vitara one? The mounting pattern is pretty much the same so the labour to fit doesn't really look any different.


Steve.

mark, various model cressidas.

CRESSIDA

Looks good mate, nice detailed drawing. The cressida etc style box has been being used for a while, rocky roads kit is built around it...

and the same install as joeblows drawing is here (although for vit box):

Steve, going by the rocky road site (if its anything to go by) the cressida box is larger/stronger. Althouh I'm sure your aware, alot run the vit box with up to 36" tyres.

Joeblow, like steve said, Mounting wise looks to be exactly the same amount of work, if not more, sourcing lines etc to make fittings fit at both ends (pump to box).

If you pick up a complete setup out of a vitara, all the lines are a straight hook up from what I understand.

I'd still prefer to drill a 10mm plate & have it all bolt on/removable though, rather than drillng the chassis & cutting & welding in crush tubes, but that me, as I'm after a bolt on solution.
