Has anyone swapped from manual to power steering using second hand parts that would of come from the same van? Thinking of doing it to my 35. Cheers

It is a fairly straight forward job with the only mod needed to the van is opening up the bolt holes in the chassis to fix the steering box.
If you are using second hand parts, make sure you have them all , the steering column on the power steering is shorter than the non pour steering model so make sure you are not fobbed off with just the box. You will also need the pump, pump bracket,fluid reservoir and pipes together with the v belt.
Good luck
