Castlemain Rod Shop (Waddingtons) HR Power Steering Kit

Has anyone had any experience with the CRS (Waddingtons) power steer kit for HR front ends? It looks to be front mounted.

Re: '62 Wagon ... "The Smurf"

Re: '62 Wagon ... "The Smurf"

It's been a difficult two weeks, as my mate who owns the business where I have been working on the Smurf passed away unexpectedly and suddenly. Unfortunately he didn't have a will, and he was the sole director and share holder of his company, so the doors had to close. I went in and screwed as much ...
