Hi Bad Co thanks for the information in the photo it confirms what I had thought would be the piping layout.
I have overhauled my pump unit replaced all the 3 O rings, seal, fitted a speede sleeve to the seal area as it had signs of wearer .
My seal kit for the steering box has arrived from the UK . I will re build the steering box in the coming week will take lots of photos, have a work shop manual so that should help will have to do some reading before I start.
How's progress on your unit going?
thanks to all who have posted information regarding power steering up grade

I'm guessing at this, and no one has confirmed it is right. But it looks legit.

Are you just doing the bottom seal? There is a how to on here, I'll try find it.

My progress is going good, just waiting to get the high pressure hose made with the restriction in it and then I can reassemble!

Edit: Here you go

Repairing a Leaking Steering Box

Just to add to it, the washer with rubber on it is a bitch to get out, and the new one is a bitch to get in, but keep at it and you'll get it done. Should be able to do it in an hour.

Hi BadCo,

yep this is FFRMAN from REMLR

yes the piping is correct, at least this is KLR kit and instructions and has been working for the last 4 months - so maybe it's Legit! Lol

How is yours going?

cheers

To be honest I have no idea, the hose guy said they sometimes put a restricter in the HP line. We don't know if there is one yet because the old hose hasn't been dismantled.

So your big hose goes from the resevoir to the underneath of your pump as the supply? It's a little hard to distinguish in your photos. Then you come out the front of the pump (side for me) to the box?

Cheers Scott

does this photo help. The big hose is the supply, the smaller hose is the pressure/delivery hose to the steering box, the other is obviously the return.

Yeah mate, that confirms it. Cheers for that Scott!

Badco - the pump has a restrictor in it. If you were to disassemble the output fitting/pressure regulator you'll see a flat section with 2 small holes in it.

I found out about it as I had a weird issue on the County where you'd occasionally swing into a carpark or similar and loose most of the power assist. It would generally come right the next time you drove it.
I changed steering boxes, checked everything but couldn't find anything wrong. I got lucky as the issue became permanent. Stripped the pump and found a small bit of hard debris stuck in one of the restrictor holes. Removed it, issue fixed and still going strong a few years later

Yup just pulled the HP line apart and no restriction!

So, this is where I am at:

Hose ready to be installed, only thing is, anybody know where I can get my hands on a threaded flange?

Hi Bad Co and all other interested parties I Striped down my steering box completely have found several issues bottom seal pitman arm seal area corroded needs a speede sleeve will be a problem to fit as it has to be fitted after the box is re assembled this will make future overhauls very difficult as the shaft has to be removed through roller bearings, so the speede sleeve will have to be removed before strip down which will be made more difficult because of the seals .
(A word of caution when removing pitman arm using hammers either side of arm make sure you only hit the pitman arm & not the body of the box as you can distort the seal area as I did (only minor distortion put the box in the lathe and skimmed the distorted area as it made removing the seal sir clip near impossible)
The worm drive shaft has some major pitting to the bearing area, am finding it hard to find a replacement shaft so looks like I am in the market for another second hand power steering box hope the next box dose not have the same problem as it is starting to get expensive first box cost me $400 it was supposed to be in good condition according to the seller (very hard to check the box when buying over the phone you can only take there word .
The other problem I have had is with the seal kit I rushed into the strip down removing seals as I went I did not check the seals in the kit, the kit dose not supply the 3 Teflon square section seals on the worm drive shaft so check that you have all the necessary seals before removing old seals (very important)as Teflon square section seals of the correct size are hard to come by unless I make them out of a Teflon billet in the lathe, so at present I am at a stand still until I get a replacement box.
Having problems trying to post photos will try again at a later date
