    nah, no way it'll fit, it's right in the way of the exhaust port. i wonder if there's a smaller steering box out there that may fit?

    Sigma ones sit on the rail there and then have the shaft that splines to the pitman arm drop down on the outside of the chassis rail, rather than the inside like the Mk2 one does.

    Now, trying to make that work and keeping the steering sensible might be impossible.

    wouldn't happen to have a pic of one would you? that sounds like a good way to keep good clearances, i think it might be possible, pending enough clearance for the wishbones.

    thanks for that bit of info, i'll have a good look at that now.

    i went out to the wreckers today and picked up a sigma steering setup, it's looks like it'll be a good fit i'll be trying it out today, seeing how it'll fit, taking measurements, so far it looks promising....

    i'll post again later after i've had a fiddle with it for a while.

    here's how the steering is looking so far...















    while i was under the beast, i fitted some hydrolix!







    they only work when stationary, and they're very slow!

    Im not sure if those hydraulics are street legal

    Does this mean you have ditched the idea of rack and pinion, i was eagerly watching you for that. Or is it still in the pipe line? Im currently looking into it, but a fair bit more research to go.

    rack and pinion idea wasn't possible, cuz any rack that was the right width got in the way of the engine and the exhaust.

    anyhow, i'm going well with the sigma steering box, i'm about to make the mounting plate/reinforcemnt plate, cuz i had to hack into the chassis a bit.

    Sweet! Now you have to make the steering column and steering box meet up!

    it's not quite lined up propeerly, but i think i'll be able to make the steering column shaft meet up to it from there. i don't want to put the box in any further cuz it's got enough clearance where it is now, and it'd be a lot of frigging around to cut more out of the chassis

    the plate is made from 1/8" steel. i just cut out a template from cardboard first, to get the right shape. it had one 90 degree bend in it, and i'll be putting in another so that i've got a good size area to properly attach it to the chassis whilst also adding more strength to it.
    all in all, i'm very happy with it so far

    THANKS TO GIANTTOMATO FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THE SIGMA STEERING BOX, YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!

    If you cant quite get the steering column shaft to meet the box, some uni joints might work, although there isnt much of a gap there.

    i've redrilled the holes in the steering column plate thing on the firewall, so that the steering column will meet the steering box. haven't fitted it yet, but it should fit good, the steering column shaft has plenty of play room in the pipe.

    huh? i got the pug/hilux setup ready to go on. i didn't want to put them on yet cuz they'll just go all rusty she should pull up sweet, having better brakes and probly a bit less weight too

    enchanter is gonna give me a power steering box soon, so that'll go in, and i'll have to pu the pump back on. will the PS pump pump too much for a box, or do they all pump the same amount/pressure?

    i need to finish a bit more of the exhaust and then work out the fuel system, then i can get it wired up and fired up!
    beer me!
