Gday All
I want to change the steering column in the van from a manual column to an auto column.
I want to retain the original steering box as the van was only registered for its first 7yrs,
so I know the box has done very little work.
I dont know any history on the donor car, so I just want to swap the column.
I have read my Ellery Manual, and it shows the column & box being removed as one.

So, can I just change the column, or do I have to swap the hole lot?

Any help appreciated, thanks gang.

My guess is you can swap the box, BUT it would require a complete dismantle and reassembly of both columns.

Hey thommo i think you can change the box.Think i remember seeing recond boxes in rares once so they must.Not 100% sure if they were fb though.

THOMMO i wouldnt be so sure that is the origional box
when i pulled the van apart the parts got stored in the shed allong with a lot of other parts
so it could have been mixed up but i know it had little play in the one i put in it

cheers dave
