power steering conversion

[Mike Webster]

Scholars,

Looking to convert my steering over to power when the summer is over. I'm not going to do it. Anyone know who can?

Dr. Dan could do it...and he's just over the bridge near Windsor

How about that company Michael Salemi keeps touting?  Motorwerks, located in West Bloomfield, MI.

Mike  My 250SL may have some of the parts you'll need for the swap.

Thanks scholars,

Talked with Dan Caron this morning. The bottom line is I can use power steering parts off any 6 cyl. fuel injected sedan (SE series), except I need the steering column off a 230sl or early 250sl. Mike, I sent you an email to see if you're parts car fits this criteria.

Scholars,

I purchased a power steering conversion from SL Tech, and Dr. Dan has agreed to perform the conversion when he's up to it. I've purchased all the rebuild kits, and have been cleaning the components. I'm now ready for powder coating, but I do not wish to dismantle the pump or the housing to do it. I understand the temperature for the pre coat cleaning is 550°F and the post coat baking temperature is 400°F. Although all the rubber components are removed from the assemblies, I'm concerned that all this heat will really mess things up. My question is do I need to dismantal everything?

Sounds like a great "demonstration" for the Meeting of the Clans event at the end of next month!!
