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)

thank you all for your help in advance
 
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?
