Thanks bear for input .A few questions for advice plz anyone

Xy powersteer 

$500 for a 20/1 steering box reco’d , is that reasonable price

and that will ratio be ok for xy sedan.

how hard will it be to get pulleys ,brackets and pump

ect to set up normal p/steer and $$$.

I’m still unsure if electric astra pump would be legal ???

I would look more into the Astra electric jobby, anything with XY written on it has 200% GT Tax as well. So, just finding brackets and pulleys may be expensive.

 

Maybe look into getting a full power steering setup from an old F100, or ZD Fairlane.?  May be interchangeable, not sure.

if budget isn't limiting? i'd look into an RRS rack, those ram setups have said to be bodgy..

 

the Skid Factory did a ZD fairlane that had the ram power steer from memory and if so, they removed it, but can't remember what they fitted.

 

if you hadn't seen it, might be entertaining anyway
