Jonathan, just do a search on "crossover steering" ..... there's comprehensive material here on the site.

Gary, it's a simple enough process to DIY. Just get the IFS steering box and order the replacement steering arms and draglink. If I'm not mistaken, there are links in the previous topics where one can order the parts, otherwise Google is your friend.

Thanks for the info, but whom can we contact for parts? a Steering box is easy to find. The rest are difficult to find, and doesn't seem to be in production anywhere.

The off-set angle and length of the steering arms is important .... not something you can just make up yourself. A good engineering works would be able to help you, otherwise you would have to import a kit yourself (without steering box).

Dawid (BlumTRD) here on the forum had some import kits for sale a while back. Might be worthwhile contacting him to check if he still has. ;-)

Hi

I dont import them anymore .
Due to shipping cost . The arms are very heavy .

You can make use of snail mail , but you will be kept waiting . And there is no tracking number .

Shipping is almost the same price as the unit + import tax etc

Have a look at http://www.trail-gear.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Na 2 oproepe, 3 eposse, en 'n boodskap op David se web page wag ek nou al meer as 4 maande net vir die quote.
