Hi All.
I have a friend with a Niva based Mini-bakkie (will try and post pics of it) Anyway, he is in need of a steering box, and the agent here in Pinetown is ridiculous with his price for one. Does any one maybe have a spare one that they are willing to sell?
Tnx Riaan

IF the casing is cracked you can have it alu welded like Charles did. If its the bearings you can get new ones. If its the droparm? you can get a new one (LHD and RHD are the same I think), The only part you cannot get is the worm shaft.
Did he try to set the box on the top setting screw?

Drop arm shafts are different of course - LHS and RHS; it's logical - they join the worm shaft. I've got RHS drop arm shafts but I don't have RHS worm shafts and I also need them.
I don't have idea of the quoted steering box above but just for info - in Y2000 the CMH sales office managed to import the last 2 new RHS steering boxes from Australia and with retail price of R12000 they were sold quickly. So think again.

Though only left hand drive - the complete box from Pavel is priced at $115. For R12 000 I would rather look for a viable and much more affordable conversion.

Like letting the passenger do the steering while you do the pedal work??
