Power steering boxes

(1/2) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
Got the early 3 bolt power steering box on my 110. Can I fit any of the other types? Are the pipe positions the same, etc? Are Disco ones the same?

If I can fit any of them, it opens up more possibilities on eBay!

j99mud:
when my power steering pump packed up i was told that it was very important that i put the same type back in so i went for a reconditioned one from landrover! Not quite sure of the importance of putting the same  type back in but didnt want to risk it!!!

hobbit:
We replaced a 3 bolt for a second hand 4 bolt unit with resevoir and pipes, ok on a classic rr, (or was it the other way round?), no probs with that at all

muddyweb:
The 3 bolt boxes use different fittings to the 4 and 6 bolt boxes AFAIK.   The 3 bolts are imperial and the 4/6 are metric.  You can probably change them over if you change the pipes too, but that's a bigger job.

Range Rover Blues:
I heard the 3-bolt boxes are stronger, plus you can pick them up S/H for less as they are in less demand.
