    Anyone interested in one of these from the states. They are $35 each if I order 2 decreasing to $30 if 5 are ordered ?

  2. I've never changed mine so if there's enough interest I'd probably get involved are these rated/reviewed?

  4. I can’t take any credit, i got mine based on feedback off those good ol’ boys on thesamba.

    But yes, no crashing so far. :thumbsup:

    It comes with the lower casting attached, four bolts plus the horn wire already attached so it’s easier to swap.

    Think I could do with a spare on the shelf please, Ian. I'm in.
     
  9. Also interested. So count me in too please.
    I am new to looking at the steering side of things.
    How does the side bolt come in to play?

    Is that underneath the van?
    Still struggling to take my crusted & cracked one off so haven’t had a proper look at it.
    Definitely needs replacing though!
     
  10. Count me in Ian, mine doesn't look too bad but I've had the bus for ten years and never changed it as I've never found decent one as yet. Be handy to keep on the shelf:thumbsup:

    I suspect that image is just illustrative and it doesn't come with the clamp.
    That's the clamp that attaches to your steering box.

  12. it comes with the clamp :thumbsup:

    ^ that pic is upside down. @PanZer The side bolt is tightened up to clamp it to the steering box input shaft as per Jim’s diagram
