The steering box that all cedrics have would have left me no chance of fitting the vh, so it went in the bin ages ago
I decided to copy the RRS style steering rack conversion, there is a bit of information out there by some americans that have done diy steering rack conversions on their old firebird things.
I got the rack from a local wrecker as the RRS setups cost at least a grand
It came from this high performance beast!
Here is the rack mounted to the original steering mounts on the car
There is a power version of the same rack but it is too wide, i think the wheels will hit it at full lock. Plus, i dont think i will be able to fit a pump and all the other crap you need.
I got a power steering unit from a holden barina or something and had a go at fitting that
I am using a combination of the original column and the barina column
Once i get the seat back in i will be able to chop the column to the correct length
The power unit is mounted to the stock pedal box that i have reinforced
The steering shaft is a bit tight against the chassis rail, but i have a hammer that knows the answer to that problem
My next mod is engine mounts version 3. I have decided how to do it with less engine movement for very little cost.
Hopefully this coming weekend i will be driving to brisbane to pick up my parts car i just bought and that will give me a bit more motorvation to do some more work on the car
