Adding PAS
I see the steering racks on sale from time to time but wondered what else do you need? Where does the hydraulic feed come from?

Re: Adding PAS
Pump, res, pipes, front struts and rack and pulley . More expensive than electric, more work but better in every way

Agree.^^^^ Original PAS is way superior to add on electric. But the cost will be close to a grand. Electric PAS is a good budget alternative.

Re: Adding PAS
Yeh, fitted mine a couple of years ago.
You can buy the front-to-rear hydraulic hoses from Brickwerks.
Need a different fan belt and pulley with an additional groove if I remember correctly.
Then obviously PS rack, and pump.
Might be something else I have forgotten.

Right hand side of the engine bay when looking down at it from rear of van.
I could try and get a photo later this week if needed.

Perhaps your first port of call? Mick will likely have most parts

Re: Adding PAS
You will need different front struts/ stub axles , the turn circle is different with PAS

Do you HAVE to or are they just good to have , anybody done a one with one without experiment, what’s the actual difference in the hubs, racks etc, non anecdotal replies preferred

Re: Adding PAS
I’m pretty sure you do have to, as the rack doesn’t go as far each way , the standard stub axles don’t have the stop in the correct place , where as the pas ones do have and stop the rack going past the end ...

Less turning circles no biggy, can always add bump stops
Re: Adding PAS
One more thing I remember, is that the reservoir goes into a bracket, which is then welded in place.
Make sure you get it.
There was a chap in the for sale section I bought mine from - NWT25 I think?
His name was Mick or Nick, and will send all the bits as one order.
That’s what I did anyway

Re: Adding PAS
The PAS stub axle has the hole for the tie rod end in another position. The non pas has the hole closer to the end.
