60# p/s into 47# in progress couple of problems
Posted: Thu May 26, 2005 12:05 am
Im helping a mate put 60# powersteer into his 47# we have mounted the pump, removed the shock tower, fitted the 55series column, mounted new steering arms on the swivel hubs. We have come across a couple of problems so far and wondering if anybody else has any ideas around them.
1. Because its a 2h motor we used a standard low mounting pump the problem is that the 40 series radiator is narrower than the 60# and the bottom outlet points at the pump and has bugger all clearance. we put an elbow on the rad but i dont think its going to fit still. should we just put some more elbows or is there something we are overlooking??
2. The HZJ steering arms we used come very close to hitting the bottom of the shock on the drivers side it actually hit until i adjusted the bumpstops out a little bit how much clearance should i be looking for here?? should i inboard the shock on the diff?? im a little bit worried because we are going to have to space the tower out 25mm or so from the chassis so the steering column can run past it.
3, lastly with the shock tower we have moved the stud to the otherside of the tower do we just mount it back enough so the shock is vertical? becuase i think this means we are going to have to cut into the guard support a bit
