'85 Brat - Power steering conversion?


Recommended Posts

how does the cross-member differ? is it not just a couple holes to mount the steering rack to? I'm really wanting to throw a power steering setup in my Brat once it's running (first things first), and it really looked pretty simple...pull parts (rack, pump, brackets for pump, hoses), but I never considered the whole crossmember has to go.....dang.

The rack does mount differently, as the power rack is larger. There's extra holes, and hard lines running in and on the cross-member, and the skid plate mount is removable for installation of the rack as it would be impossible otherwise. On the non-power crossmembers the entire cross-member must be removed and the rack slid out from one side. This is both not possible due to the dimensions of the power rack, and not desireable from a service point of view.
