late bay steering box conversion - parts list

[fredamens]

Hi all

I have terrible steering.

I have a friend who says he can do this - based on information I have shown him from the forum. my question is what parts do i have to buy to complete the conversion. I have a good example with pictures, although happy to see any others please if you have undertaken this task, so its just the parts list. I have taken the below from another very helpful post. I have posted a few links and would appreciate if anyone can fill in the blanks or correct me if i have this wrong.

1 x LHD Late Bay Steering box - http://www.justkampers.com/211-415-049-h-steering-box-left-hand-drive-vw-t2-bay-1972-1979.html

1 x Secondhand Late Bay Drop Arm - ?

1 x New nyloc nut for drop arm - ?

4 x New bolts to mount Steering box - ?

2 x New nuts & bolts to attach to steering coupling - ?

Also do you need a new coupling or can you use the one on the bus (not sure if there is one)

You will need a conversion plate as early and late boxes are totally different. Try Neil at Lite-Steer. http://litesteer.com/

Appreciated. Do you know about the drop arm? Are these second hand or can you get them new?

Thanks

I haven't seen new drop arms, but they are reversible, marked up for both LHD and RHD, there is also a plate which goes the other side of the subframe, but may not be needed with that adaptor plate?
