hi guys,

im in need of a new steering box for my EJ special wagon.

a seal has gone, leaked out oil, causing bottom bolt to come loose (fortunately not off while driving!) and has rapidly worn the guts of it to bits.

can anyone recommend a place to get a new/reco one or anyone that has a spare one lying about in good/usable nick they would want to sell?

im located in bendigo, car is in ballarat.

thanks heaps in advance.

Rare Spares do changeover units with new internals.
If it is old or rare - Cut it! http://www.ehlimo.com.au/

hi guys,

thanks for the replies. i saw the rare spares one on their site, but thought it a bit rich. i hoped someone else would do it for a more reasonable price.

I have an EH one - I am 99% sure they are the same but you will have to check. If you can get it shipped from Sydney then it is yours for 200. [email protected] if you are keen.

Rods Racks wwww.rodsracks.com.au or Pat Gardiner at v6conversions.com.au do the best rack conversions.
