Up for auction is a Saginaw power steering conversion kit that I bought from Man-a-Fre in 2005. It was intended for FJ40 Land Cruiser 9/72 and older, with a Chevy short block installed, but I suppose it could be used for many different vehicles. I only got as far as welding the 4-Plus gearbox bracket to my frame, otherwise everything in this kit is included as it was sold to me, and I never used it. Here is what is included:
  • Rebuilt Saginaw gearbox
  • Nut and lock washer for gearbox
  • Rebuilt power steering pump
  • Power steering pump filler cap
  • Borgesen collapsible steering shaft with U-joints
  • Gm drop Pitman arm
  • Advance Adapters spud shaft (AA-716835)
  • Clamps for spud shaft
  • Advance Adapters Saginaw relay rod
  • Saginaw relay rod end (716821) to match new pitman arm
  • March pump bracket kit for V-8 (MCH-20160) with bolts, washers, spacers, and instructions
  • Aircraft quality hoses
  • Billet aluminum pulley (SUM-63975)
  • 4+Plus mounting plate (the one for the firewall, not the gearbox mounting bracket)
  • Bearing, nut, and woodruff key for steering shaft
  • Pump removal instructions and flush and bleed instructions

This is the same kit that Man-a-Fre sells for $1400 as shown here. I tried to arrange my kit the same as the kit in their picture for comparison purposes. If you compare them, you'll see the only differences are

  • My kit has one of the hoses as aluminum braided, while both of theirs are black 
  • The washer counts on the pump bracket spacer kit are different
  • The gearbox mounting bracket is missing from mine (as discussed above)
  • There are two hose fittings in the Man-a-Fre picture under the pulley that were not included in my kit

NOTE 1: Just to be perfectly clear, the gearbox mounting bracket is *not included* with this kit. They can be fabbed easily or purchased separately.

NOTE 2: Just so everything is disclosed, there is some rust on the Borgeson steering shaft and the 4+Plus firewall mounting bracket (see the last picture). They are not pitted however.

Will ship in two separate boxes (free shipping!):

Box 1: 45 lb, 16x14x11
Box 2: 14 lb, 35x5.5x5.5

High-performance Cadillac CTS-V coupe spied on the road

Thu, 26 Feb 2009

Despite the rash of bad news coming from General Motors over the past several months, the engineering corps is still hard at work. And we've got a glimpse of a car we would love to have in our garage--the Cadillac CTS-V coupe. Cadillac's redesigned CTS coupe is set to launch in fall 2010, and it would add some Eldorado-esq panache to the Caddy stable.

Eterniti Hemera (2011) at Frankfurt motor show

Mon, 12 Sep 2011

Eterniti Motors – the fledgling UK luxury car start-up – has shown its new Hemera SUV ahead of its debut at this week’s 2011 Frankfurt motor show. It’s now become apparent that Eterniti will rebody the Porsche Cayenne 4x4 at its London factory to an even higher spec – they say – than when it emerges from Stuttgart. So the Eterniti Hemera is a posh Cayenne?

Jaguar: Four-wheel drive a priority. Hybrid Jaguars not.

Sun, 20 Nov 2011

Our long term Jaguar XJ would have been better in the snow with 4WD - but it's coming We’ve been talking about a four-wheel drive platform for Jaguars for a long time now. As far back as 2009, Jaguar privately confessed that the lack of an XF Estate was down to the lack of a 4WD platform to make the XF Estate a proper competitor in the luxury load-lugging market. And although we thought Jaguar could still make a success of the XF Estate without a 4WD option, we understood their perspective; Jaguar didn’t want to be the poor relation in the luxury estate market.
