Powersteering conversion

[lukey4x4]

Alright guys well decided to do the powersteering conversion on the sj willbe pickin it up on saturday got a great deal so , i got the vitara box and all the pipes n pot , i understand i need some sort of wedge , does any one have one for sale or could make me one obvs. Would pay , i noticed there was a diagram one one kickin about but it was wrong someone said , , also the pipe work is it just as easy as routing the original pipework in the bay no modding it ? Thanks i already have the vitara engine and pump already instauld

I used a jimny box as they bolt straight in.

The pipework is a bit of a pain as the vit or jimny sets are a mix of rubber and preformed steel pipes, designed to fit to the shape of the respective car.

I had a set of flexis made using the ends off the original pipes.

Vitara pipes are easy to shorten by cutting a bit out and joining with a hydraulic compression coupling if they are clean and free from corrosion.

Thanks lads yas no anyone that would make me a correct wedge ? Was it expensive jordi to get some flexi made up mate ? Is the any pics or threads on how to do this thanks guys

A5 hydraulics in Darlington did mine, £10 a pipe and took about 15mins.

Cheers jordi that spot on saves all the hassel lyk so the two pipes that come off the steering box u just just measured what length pipe u wanted n got them in flexi with the original ends on ? Thanks

[Jordi]

Yup. I just measured the distance with string and took my old pipes down. They cut the banjos off and made high pressure flexi pipes for me.
