[andyrew]

ok cheers but looking at the shackles i got i dont think i could cut them without cutting off one of the serport bars that run from side to side .i think im guna have to try suzuki to se if i can get a set of standerd size ones cheers for that have you any luck with the streering box scottie .as you can tell im a rookie with sj so is there that many problems with them cheers

i think i have a standard pair at my workshop, only a pair tho. but would help sort out your front issues. £6 the pair plus postage?

What thickness is the steel used for the shackles, you could just cut the support bars out. as ling as the plate is 4mm+

I'm up the shop tonight so will look for you.

So far only found a size for the lower seal

Stock is 30x42x8 but a easily a available 30x42x6 should work fine
I'm sure the input seal will be easy to get a replacement for as well, I hope so as mines leaking on my power steering

Thank's for that , I tried to get the number off mine but couldn't read it. It did look like an R23 seal though, So guess what.....................................

Damn I got so caught up fixing stuff on my sj and my dad nearly setting fire to his tonight that I forgot to look at the steering boxes i have (think i have 3-4?)Sorry matey, ill pop up there tomorrow after work.

And before you ask, The positive feed to the starter had somehow ended up rubbing on his steering column, this wearing through it and shorting out! It pretty much melted off the negative terminal on the battery and he got to it before it all went up in flames! Think we've got some wiring loom repair work to do this weekend now

thats ok bud no worries things happn and that fire was more important .cheers if you could do that that would be brillient .ooohh the poor old girl what a shame that was lucky then and he wasnt driving it at the time .yeah it does but i think you cant beat a bit of wireing some times lol

[ScottieJ]

cool ill let you know.

It was actually quite funny, he pulled up to the workshop and then just as he was about to come in the door all I heard was 'f@#% I'm on fire'
I ran outside to see him with the bonnet up ripping the wires off the battery as it was all smoking, we were a bit confused as to how it happened at first as it seemed quite random but then spotted the starter earth straying very close to the column.

Yeah I quite enjoy a bit of wiring! it's quite clean, quiet and relaxing compared to fabrication

If you have vit power steering it looks a nightmare!!

[Darrell]

Or does this unscrew and have the oil seal pressed into it?????
Sod the rest, look at all those balls

[ScottieJ]

Doesn't look too bad apart from all the balls

Where did you find those pics Darrell? Was it a rebuild guide?
