Samurai Power Steering opinions
« on: March 05, 2022, 10:59:25 AM »
Howdy all!  I am transitioning from Sidekick to Samurai for this thread...A friend has a Sami that I will be doing some work on.  One of the things we want to do is pull the power steering components off of my parts 'Kick and put power steering on his Sami.  I was just wanting to get some opinions on whose adaptor kit you Sami guys recommend?  Right now I am looking at Petroworks and Low Range.  Low Range's kit is the more expensive, but it does come with a few extra components, such as low pressure hoses and a rag joint eliminator.  I figure those hoses are easy to source locally, and I have what I need to make my own eliminator using the Sidekick steering shaft.  For the difference in price, the LROR kit is probably the better buy, but it comes with a "plate" adaptor for the steering box, and PW comes with a "wedge".  At first glance I like the wedge adaptor better, and it seems it would be worth a little extra, but I am open to being schooled on this!  Also, is there a different option out there to use the 'Kick set up?  I know I could get off my back side and fabricate some of this myself, but I figure end cost to the customer, just buy the kit rather than pay for my slow fabrication process!

Here are the 2 kits:
