just thinking about converting my non-power steering bundy to power steering, from what i can tell i just need a new powersteering box and a pump/resivour and some high pressure lines? is that right
apart from that is it just a simple bolt in job or is there more to it that what could be expected?

Ive just done mine! I did the v6 conversion and had the pump so I thought I may as well use it. Got the box off dumbdunce ages ago.
Just unbolted old steering box, bolted p/s one up and then a mobile guy came and did the lines for me.
Havent driven with it yet but will let you know in a fortnight I hope

ah sounds good mate with the lines....isn't it just a return line and a feed line? does it need to be done professionally or ya just getting lazy?
with the pumps....will any pump outa a 4cyl lux, fit it or does it have to be one out of a bundy?
cheers greg

Probably not, but he has all the tools for the job, does it there and then, no chasing fittings and sh!t. The commodore pump runs different fitting sizes to the toyota box, plus he did all new a/c lines and taps at the same time!

My bundy has a 60 series box on it

60 series box is right, but beware, the 7x series box is WRONG - it turns the other way. the boxes are externally near identical so be careful!
