Hydro-assist steering setup

[hcdisco]

Here's what I have:

Discovery Steering box:
Drilled tapped for Hydro-assist w/ pitman arm bored for Chevy 3/4-ton TRE's:
Box leaked (like all rover boxes do) when I removed it, but I replaced the seals at the input and output shafts, drilled and tapped the box for -6AN fittings (included). It shouldn't leak anymore, but I have not had it back on the truck to test it out.

$175.00 obo

Discovery Power Steering pump:
Modified pump for higher pressure and flow rate for hydro-assist, hasn't been run since the modification was made.

$75.00

Drag Link:
Drag link is tapped for 7/8 - 18 Left and Right hand thread, with flats milled. constructed from 1.375" x .625" wall DOM tubing. Was made to fit a Land Rover with a full width Dana 60 front axle w/ high-steer, also includes 2 NEW 3/4-ton Chevy TRE's and jam nuts. Has never seen ANY use.

$150.00

BRAND NEW PSC 1.75" Hydro-assist steering cylinder w/ NEW rod ends and jam nuts.

$150.00

Summit Power Steering Cooler - small Aluminum 2 pass unit, never seen any use.

$20.00

If someone should want all of this, I can also make/provide the hydraulic lines w/ fittings to go from the box to the cylinder for an additional fee.

edit// The hydro-assist modification is for offroad use ONLY...if you have to ask why, then you have no business running such a setup.

disco PS pumps can't handle the increased pressure needed to run hydro assist properly. The housings crack. You would know that if you put that setup in and ran it.

Never had any problems in three trucks I've set it up in, and I'd love to see where the housing on your pump cracked, that's quite impressive. The Disco running my setup the longest (2.5 years) would still be running it, but it's got a built 350 in it now, a saginaw pump and full hydro.

As for my particular rig, I changed my mind decided to go with a full-hydro setup, rather than dicking with a track bar on the front 4-link, machining a pitman arm, and all that fun stuff.

Anyways, that's enough off topic, if anyone would like to make a reasonable offer, I'd just like to see this stuff go away.

Do you have a picture of this installed?

I have pictures of it installed on other trucks, but not mine. I'll try to post a pic when I get back in town, I don't have any pics on my work laptop. After I modified everything I decided I just wanted full hydro and never bothered to put it back on the truck. Everything is the same location as stock, aside from the assist ram that has to be welded to the axle housing and then attached to the tie-rod, drag link, or pitman (not my preference).
