Nice workmanship.
It will be a very practical and useable vehicle when it's completed.
Following with interest.

Thanks, although I sometimes wonder if I might be getting just a bit carried away with the detail. :)Quote:

P38 power steering box mounted to chassis via a fabricated bracket.
I haven't figured out the drag link yet or the power steering lines.
Let us know if you need more info.

Now that's some engineering on the power steering !!
I have seen some after market solutions, but yours looks much better integrated with the vehicle.
It's more a curiosity at the moment for me, I have just finished the restoration of my S2a, so I won't be ripping it apart again anytime soon, but mayb efurther down the track !!
Good luck with the rest of the project.
Cheers,
John
Many things done since the last post and very close to seeing if I can get the motor running.
