Looney Question time

[Brad HALLETT]

Thrill seekers This message is probably best directed to those with a fair bit of experience, such as Feral Errol.  I need some advice as I am in 2 minds about the following project.   I have just got my hands on a steering quickener box from America which gives a 2.5:1 reduction on steering, i.e. less turns lock to lock.  The steering column is cut and shut the reduction box is mounted solidly on the rollcage front leg spreadrs, and fits in the column by way of splined input shafts welded to the actual column.   Naturally this causes steering to be much quicker but also much heavier.  I am fitting this to my PRC 1600 and I am half thinking of sourcing a power steering box and pump to fit, and using an underdriven pulley on the L18 so that the high revs don't  cause the pump to cavitate.  I am only thinking of doing this as the heavy steering may be a pain in the arse.   What do you blokes think?  Should I bother or should I just stop being lazy and develop forearms like popeye???     Brad HALLETT Ipswich, Qld --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
