New brazilian RHD steering boxes

[chad]

It looks like Danbury have some of these, with delivery mileage only, for sale.

Does anyone know the differences between these and late bay ones? I know that you can fit a late box to an early but was wondering whether the same was true of these

I'd be interested in one of these (if they fit), where are they for sale??

eBay
They come with a steering column which looks different to the normal bus one
Might be worthwhile contacting them about the differences

Looks like a lot of work!

better off with one of these... :angeldevil:

Not if you have a RHD vehicle.

Theres a lot of differences, its a combination of a bay & split steering box in one, I dont think you'll be able to fit it straight into a bay without some modifications to the column, stalks and steering wheel. The whole unit is like a split box with the shaft connected to the worm so no rubber donut etc etc.
I know this as had to remove one from a Danbury recently when fitting Lite Steer to one.

PS we are rebuilding customers RHD boxes

What is the sort of cost to rebuild a rhd box?
