Thread: 2A Steering options

1. 88 and 109 are the same steering assembly.

2. Steering wheel and hence column (different spline/connection) changed about 1967, but complete assemblies are interchangeable. (earlier wheel & column & box are the same as Series 1 from 1955, but you are unlikely to find one)

3. Series 3 steering wheel is the same as the later wheel, and the box/column are pretty much interchangeable except for trim issues. Late S3 wheel, fully interchangeable, is a much better grade of plastic.

Hope this helps

John

Except that the series 1 1955 on and early series 2 columns are about 1" (25mm) shorter than s2a.

But are interchangeable!

So while we're talking steering options, what are the available bolt-on options for adding power steering to a Series II?

Thanks, Peter

this is the only bolt-on, "off the sfelf" kit that I am aware of:
TDZ Power steering for Series Land Rovers

However there are much better options IMHO. Have a search on here.

Shame you're not closer to Perth as I'd be quite tempted to swap my power steering set-up with your standard set-up. Just swap the drag link, bolt in the hydraulic pump and reservoir. The only weld-on bit on mine is the mount block for the chassis end of the hydraulic ram but I think this can be accomplished with a bolt on mount block that wouldn't be too hard to get made.

Of course I'd want a steering wheel and your wheels too as there's little hope of me turning the wide wheels without the power steering. I could try and find out more but I understand the system on my Landy was installed locally and made up from bits rather than a complete kit. It looks pretty simple and I don't think there's anything particularly difficult in it.

Any chance of a photo of the setup?

Thanks, Peter

I'll take a bunch of photo's of all the parts of the system this weekend for you.
