Thread: 3 bolt vs 4 bolt steering box questions

well that was an interesting morning

all bolted up and fitted, bled, behaving very nicely.

a couple of things to note

the 3 bolt box bolts will not fit the 4 bolt steering box.

you need to get 4 bolts from a donor 4 bolt box and also the cross support arm and the two bolts and nuts that hold that in place as they are all different.

i had to drill out the holes in the chassis with a 7/16 drill to get the 4 bolt bolts thru to the box.

all up the job took less than 3 hours including draining and cleaning the oil reservoir and changing the filter etc.

i even managed to line the splines up correctly the first time round as an added bonus

thank to those that helped with info etc etc.
