power steering with hooker front mount engine mounts

[mldeolde]

has any one ever tried to use power steering with the hooker front mount engine mount system.. I do believe they say it wont work but it looks to me like it might be just possible. cpp in placentia california has a neat power steering box on ebay for around $ 284.00 . I think I will take some picks of my set up with some measurerments and see what they think.. with the size of tires I am running and the fact that I am getting weaker with age power steering may be a must in the near future.

I won't say it's impossible, but that is one of the reasons I changed my Vega to side mounts. You'll have to engineer your own brackets.

it looks like the power steering box will bolt up just like the manual unit that I have now but the problem is the very limited space for the hose connections. if I could get or make some very low 90 degree connectors I think it might just fit if I install them before I install the box in the car.

you also need to change the centerlink. Your car has the vega steering box.

thanks for the reminder. its the little things like that that can make a difficult job even more frustrating

I did it, check my build thread here for pics and what not, It wasn't easy but it was do able. One of the best upgrades I have
done to the car.
