4.
What's different with the steering box? Could you reverse a ped assembly?

Sun Dec 02, 2007 5:40 pm

But as far as ive seen the pedal assembly isnt backwards
it just has a couple differant peices to allow the cross from right to left into the tunnel

I thought about that too
couldnt you just move the steering box

Its the Dash thats the hard part

With the air ride you did i bet it wouldnt be too hard to move the appropriate pieces to the other side

Never seen a RHD pedalassembly "Up Close and with Light" tho

Just Speculation

I need some side scoops
or hood scoops that arent 250$ plus

?? maybe Blacksmith me some :twisted:

to be careful with manuals and published parts lists as they don't always
appreciate these differences - quite a few things are reversed, but not this
one.

What? Why? Hood scoops? You are aware that the side-scoops are useless...right? This will likely make your cooling issues worse.

New steering boxes come up on Australian ebay on a regular basis. I have never shopped around but the price always seemed quite reasonable (Just don't ask me how much it was) I take it the weight may kill the postage costs

What side scoops make the cooling worse??

Alright then just some Fresh air vent scoops
but i think im just going to make some
How do they mount anyways (the front ones aswell as the back)
I know thers 1 or 2 sets floating around (front)
but im not sure how they stay on.

And i would believe that the rods you could just switch side for side
I thought that the steering box was just "Mounted " to the beam
Thought you could just Slide it donw and bolt in back on

But then agian
What about a dash

I guess now that my OG tank is out i can find out what a Type 3 beam looks like up close
(no really) i just started cleaning it and might paint it

Skinman.... your posts are all over the place. :?

Hood scoops and side scoops dont work and have nothing to do with the OP's needs in this thread.
