Power steering on a series landy

(1/3) > >>

ash240970:
Since my accident in February i have only driven my series 2a a couple of times due to the amount of effort it takes steering the old boat as my back really hurts afterwards for 2-3 days. How big a job is it to fit power steering, does anyone do kits or has anyone local to me done one and wouldn't mind giving me a hand to convert mine?.

crazymac:
There are ways/kits somewhere to do it! one of the military machines that served in Ireland had it as standard as well. A couple of years ago there was a company at the LRW show that were selling a kit as well! Try an internet search?

For the cost of just that kit you could buy an early 90. Some of the prices on series stuff astounds me.

Depends on how much fabrication you want to do, but my ex-boss & myself converted his 86" Series One to power steering from an early Range Rover.
The front crossmember needs removing to mount the steering box & then a new crossmember needs fabricating to fit around the steering box. The steering column was changed for a Range Rover one, the inner wing needs cutting / modifing, The steering linkage with the UJ's linking the column to the box will need cutting / shortening & welding. A bracket will need fabricating or sourcing for mounting the PAS pump. There's probably more things to do, but I've forgotten. :doh:
