Manual steering conversion query
I've taken out my power steering set up and replaced it with a manual one.

Everything fine apart from one bit - connecting the steering rack to the steering column.

The shaft from the steering wheel is about 7-8cm too short to reach the rack Reason is the power steering joint is quite a bit higher as it sits on a resorvoir for the power steering fluid, so is actually closer to the steering column.

I guess they are different parts, and assuming I'm going to struggle to find the manual steering bar bit, what else can I do to fix it together? Surely someone else must have come across this problem

Thanks

IIRC speak to Paz, he has got around this with a bodge? Ideally track the joint down, its longer than the PS version.

Also maybe speak to Big Yin he has a tonne of spares and might have ne kicking about?

Thanks for reply,

Just found a pic of what Paz has done.

Also it seems a mk3 supra has the part that will fit too, which should be easier to find then a manual ae86.

will give Big Yin a PM too. Thumbs up!

Yeah the T3 spacers really help for extra lock.
