bear351c 10,260 Posted June 15, 2020 It's been done, @Crazy2287 did a tutorial on it. (not an XY, but no matter) Also Iron Empire on Utube just plumbed one into a Valiant wagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todd 13 Posted June 16, 2020 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 ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BGDAV 1,871 Posted June 16, 2020 i had heard the XY powersteer can be adapted to use a XB-XF steering box without to much effort Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,260 Posted June 16, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,231 Posted June 16, 2020 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
