Powersteering conversion. with a bmw e12 box. 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be anthony on  Fri Apr 9 01:38 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hello.
I found something really interesting. I got a big pile of bmw e12 parts for real cheap. I looked at the steering-box, wah, almost the same as the existing Volvo's one. The Volvo are also fits the BMW spline. All the dimensions are the same, except the mounts are 90degrees off.
I cut the old mounts off, make a new bracket out of 12mm steel, welded it on the the casting. Now it looks just like it's meant for a volvo.
Haven't hooked it up yet, but I'll post pics when it's all done.

This might be an option for those with 144s' and can't find the 164 box... (which are impossible to find here in Bangkok.)
