Long shot, I am looking for a RHD power steering box out of a Defender, or early model Disco.

Any out there? shipping is expensive from the UK where they are plentiful!

So, what kind of a power steering box do you fit on a Left hand Defender? Is it a complicated conversion?

They use the same box as a disco 1 so easy to source in LHD.   Pump and lines are easy enough to buy new.  If you do not have the brackets for the pump, that may be the hard part as you most likely need to source them from a wreckers in the UK.  With mine, I mounted the reservoir on the left side (right is stock) as this shortened the lines to it be a huge amount.

I found the 200Tdi pump image on line. Part number is NTC 8288.
Found the Reservoir - Steering Pump - 'Lemforder Ref: QFX000030
Steering Box Pipe Assembly LHD RTC 4401
There are few washers and seals to get as well.

Can't locate the brackets.
Anybody has pictures for before and after the conversion?

Ive got a LHD Discovery with power steering and a RHD Defender without, I dont want to convert the Defender to LHD, but I do want to use the power steering pump and reservoir from the Discovery, and a power steering box from another Defender, all I will need for my conversion is the hoses, which I can get made up to my spec.

I have pictures of the LHD Discovery stuff if thats any help?
