Thread: Vega steering conversion

Tweet

Here's a fairly typical install.

Difficult to see, but the steering box proper mounts on a commercially available plate and the plate is welded to the frame.

You can make your own plate out of 3/16" CR steel and weld on a couple of bushings so the Vega box will stand off away from the flat plate a ways.

There's quite a bit of latitude in placing the Vega box, just don't hang it so low that the pitman arm can catch on something.

Aftermarket pitman arms are available and the one in the pic is an aftermarket arm.
Easily bent up - or down - if required.
Use heat, get the part to a dull orange and bend being careful not to elongate the broached pitman shaft hole or tie rod hole.
