Yes it will fit its harder to fit than an 60 p/s set up and as for the releif vaulve that should just be plumbing.

The valve your talking about is for speed variable power steer, basicly the faster you go the heavier the steering gets ( less pressure ) so for example at 100km/h you lean to the pasenger side or look into the back you may pull on the steering a little thats puts you off coarse so with heavier steering it is less as the wheel needs more effort. To use this box connect nothing to the pressure control valve and it works like a normal box. ( fitted one to a bundy once )
