Thread: PAS Install

Which ever way you look at the cost of power steering on the Perentie it is worth it, the power steering makes the vehicle very easy to drive both around town and on the open road, it is more in line with the vehicles that are available to day .
My next project is to upgrade the front solid disc breaks to vented disc along with the power booster to a D1 power booster and look at the possibilities of fitting vented disc to the rear, if the improvements to the breaks are only 30% I will be a very happy person, as it will at least bring a very capable vehicle up to present day standards in the break area.
So here's hoping

This is also on my plans. Even though my Safari driving mate was impressed with a stop I had to do the other day.

The power booster on the perentie is out if a falcon and will work for a rear disc upgrade without replacement. Would a disco booster be any better?

The D1 power booster is a double diafram type and should = less foot effort on the peddle.

Ok cool - keen to hear how it goes/fits.

No doubt it will take a little effort.

Getting a little off topic now, but here is a write up of a rear disc conversion with D1 brake booster

A small update.

I had bought a long extension to adjust the play in the box, I managed to get it to a satisfactory point. Buuuut it still wanders on the road, it's just easier to control the wander haha

Theeeen the other day when I was putting the truck in the garage to start the turbo project, I noticed the toe is a mile out on the drivers side wheel! No idea how this happened, I never noticed it without the PAS.
