Ive got P76 in my green/white poptop
Works unreal, love it.
People put transit ones in , im not sure how good they are
Id like to put power steering in my new blue van soon.

Might put it in the yellow cf truck as well.

Have a VN in mine, you will need a bevel box as well to change the direction of the box, not the best lock, found the Tran....sit better,,,,,

Interesting...

what year/model tranny rack was used?

and I saw a cf on fleabay/bumtree a while back that apparently had had a torana rack installed by a previous owner- anyone know of the possibilities/problems involved there?

John, I've just done a power steering conversion to my Bedford using the '97 Ford Transit rack. I would highly recommend this conversion as parts are cheap and plentiful. Search the forum for the conversion documented by Rogue Trooper. I basically followed his article to do my conversion.
