Postby V8SeriesII » Sun Sep 18, 2005 7:11 pm

I know of a chap that used a Nissan steering column & power steering box and reckoned it worked a treat - he's now president of the Rotorua LR Enthusiasts club so you should be able to contact him.

I've got power steering in mine but it is a concequence of the LR discovery chassis it has as its all there standard with Rangies and discoverys. Converting the steering column is another thing though. I've got rid of the old steering box and column and chassis bracket. Taken a rangie one made a bracket to mount it to the firewall and in the process of making the drive to the box longer. Guess all you need to do is jimmy up and mount some drive unit where the relay normally sits and the pump on the enigne :wink:

Yeah doesn't sounds like there is an easy option. i have done it before with a pajero steering coloumn and Sj80 arm and just used the holden pump few brackets to make up but wasn't toooo bad. Mite just hav to do that again, it works bloody good though. Thanks.
