Default Fitted power steer to my34

Have just taken the 34 on its maiden test run and the results are the feel is spot on not too light with just enough weight on it now I can park the car with ease (Cokers 215/75/15s) and ensures my days of driving are much extended. No new holes drilled front end stock standard a billet pitman arm machined electric pump and a fluid resevoir tucked into the engine bay all worth the effort!

guys I have been flat out on the 70 Boss then the Roadster Power Steering so back on the forum.
You can use the stock 34 box but I used an F100 which was jigged up to fit exactly the stock position had a billet pitman arm made getting the taper and correct angle machined the hardest part. I don't know how to post photos! Power/ S a great advantage for older guys!

The pump is an MR2 Toyota and seems just right for the job the Stock Car guys over here use them so they are in demand 300 NZ dollars for a good used unit.
