45 series

[bucketofbolts]

hey everyone, a mate of mine just bought a 45 series,and wants to put power steering on it, any suggestions on what works well and how much, any help would be great

standard P.S. is pricy but bolt up

hilux power steering box bolts up with a custom bracket

60 series and toyota crown powersteering conversions are also popular

search those and it might come up with something

i also have that question, if we were to put a 60 series unit on, wat would we have to modify?

modify your driving style cause it will turn easier

but seriously will need steering column mods (to hook up the rag joint to the p/s box

i have a 75 series p/s box in my 45 (would go the 60 series style if i do it again).... i can take pics tomorrow (if i remember)


EDIT : my setup uses the complete 75 series steering column and shafts , with mods to fit the old H motor

at a guess i THINK the 75 series column and shaft and 60 series p/s box could bolt together quite easy

i bought my setup complete from a wrecker, so if your lucky you could get a power steering pump that will bolt straight up to your engine ( 2F or 2H pump)

you could try a sagnaw box conversion. here is a site from the U.S. same fittment applies but just to the opposite side the vehicle.
