360 pas to manual steering conversion
360 pas to manual steering conversion
has anyone converted a 360 with pas to non pas? ive had aload of problems with the power steering due to some nob threading the fittings on the pipes, so ive decided just to get rid of the power steering,
i have a spare manual steering rack here anyways, only problem is were it bolts to the steering column its differnt to the one on my 360,
this is the fitting on the manual rack:
and this is the fitting on my 360:
is there abit that bolts to the manual rack and then to my column? or dose it need a none pas column? sorry if its been covered but nothing seems to come up when i search for some reason,
also ive been haveing a problem with my steering pulling to the side, but it seems to change from pulling left to pulling to the right when you go over bumps to of pull harsh turns, theres nothing bent that i can find and ive been and had the tracking check and they said the tracking was spot on so im stumped now,
cheers

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
cheers mate the for somereason nothing is comeing up when i search, ive never seen the long bit that comes directly out of your rack but the next bit that bolts to it looks like the bit i need? what belt was you planning on useing? you planning on doing a engine conversion on yours? ihad no problems with the exhaust being to close on mine etc.
im not to sure tbh evoman, not sure if im gonna clean the threads up and put a new pipe on and keep it just incase or just see if anyones interested in it
cheers

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
If there is no play in the rack ends id be interested in them
Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
ive had the rack off and didnt notice any play and the steering feels good on the car apart from the pulling issue but think i might know what that is, if i decide to sell it i will let you know mate
cheers

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
ya dont need power steering lol, dont know what im gonna do with the bits i take off because im starting to think i need all the spares i can get, if i do decide to let them, go i will let you know if you want, pumps off a b230fk so dont know how much use that would be on a 40/60
Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
I had a manual rack but it tossed a balljoint and split the rubber up the steering column so thought why not go pas? i had a setup in my spare room anyways. but I've lost the universal and the mounting plates. atm its taking up space at my friends workshop so could you let me know asap please?

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
I have PS parts, rack/pump/tank, but no column. Also both types of down pipe in good nick. No plans to use PS or spare down pipes. Going turbo anyway.

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
I'm guessing you'll have a UJ further up inside the car, if thats the case you'll need something to go between the rubber bit and the UJ. The bit I've got would fit the Rubber vibration damper you have but probably wouldn't reach the UJ.wiganer31 wrote:cheers mate the for somereason nothing is comeing up when i search, ive never seen the long bit that comes directly out of your rack but the next bit that bolts to it looks like the bit i need? what belt was you planning on useing? you planning on doing a engine conversion on yours? ihad no problems with the exhaust being to close on mine etc.
I'd say get a peice of ~3mm steel plate say 15mm wide 50mm long, drill the two holes and find bolts to bolt it to the rubber damper, Once that's done find some bar of the right diameter and that reaches the UJ, At the UJ end it has two sides flattened down that slot into the UJ. Then weld this to the plate mensioned before, bolt the plate to the Rubber damper and then clamp the end with the flattened sides into the UJ and hey presto it should work.
Unless you can find a bit that fits, I'll have a look at the parts catalogue - What Year is your car? and what year is the Manual rack?
I might do the 2.3T swap like you have but will be at somepoint in the future. If there's room for the exhaust i might keep the PAS

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
logan will let you know as soon as mate,
dont need to make one anymore, managed to pick this up today
looks about right size, dose it bolt straight to the rubber bit? (ie theres no plate that goes inbertween it or something?) take its meant to move abit with the rubber as a damper?
found this when i took the rack and subframe off today
anyone any idea why its catching now? it wasnt before i first took it off, couldnt be something to do with the pulling to oneside problem could it? also would fuked top mounts cause that problem?
cheers

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion

Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
my mates just come up with a good point that i hadent even thought about, what to do about the belt tensioner as its on the power steering pump on the b230fk?
Re: 360 pas to manual steering conversion
Is there no b230ks without power steering? Does the belt not just run the power steering pump?wiganer31 wrote:my mates just come up with a good point that i hadent even thought about, what to do about the belt tensioner as its on the power steering pump on the b230fk?
