Default DIY Jeep Steering Conversion Parts FS

I started putting together a Jeep steering conversion but I eventually bought a Borgeson setup. This is most of the parts needed for a DIY conversion. You will still need hose, a U-joint or rag joint and a pittman arm.

The brackets were made from drawings posted on the forum and are 2 pieces of 1/4" thick aluminum screwed together. Tig-welding them would be even better. I have grade 5 bolts holding them on to the box but they should be replaced with the metric equivalent of grade 8.

I got the steering box at the local self-serve junkyard. This one looked like a recent replacement and wasn't rusted like the others.

I'm asking $150 + shipping for everything. Basically just trying to get back the $ invested in the parts (those fittings are expensive). Send me an email if interested. blair.richard@comcast.net

Rick, would you happen to have any install instructions or be able to direct me to some details on the install. hose connections, etc.

Also, could you check on shipping to 34471?


Thanks
Barry

I'll weigh the parts tomorrow and figure out what shipping would cost. I can copy the Borgeson installation instructions. There really isn't much to the install. The hose needed is a -6 braided stainless. I think the Aeroquip site has videos on how to use their fittings.

I checked on shipping and the least expensive is Fedex at $35.00. The box is 16"X16"X8.5" and weighs 31 lbs.
