Howdy race fans. I am going to add power steering to my race car. It seems the easiest way to do it is to bolt in a power steering box. I just don't know if there is a power box out there that will bolt in easily. I cna make brackets and even do some cutting on the frame. The tricky part is to get the pitman shaft with the correct splines for the pitman arm and also getting the location of the pitman arm exactly the same as the stock unit.
Another idea I had was to replace the center (drag) link with a power rack and pinion. I would then replace the steering box with a RHD idler assembly. To do this I would need to verify that a RHD idler assembly will fit a LHD car and then find one cheap.
Has anyone added power steering to their roadster other than cutting out the cross member and mounting a rack?
Thanks,
Andy
