What a well thought out intelligent post.

What you would need to convert is the following.
P/s pump with pulley and idler adjusters
Hoses
P/s Gear box and steering column
Mounting bracket for P/s.
belt for P/s.

Off of a Gsl or Gsl-Se.
It is all bolt on.

that seems like a lot of work for something I see as an item not really needed. I have been running 205/50R15's on my car for years and never even thought about power steering. I am also not a strong guy either. It seems to me that If he cant find anything localy he is looking at some form of international shipping for heavy parts. plus the downtime of the swap. rx7doctor, You and I each gave NIKOE a point of veiw. lets go from there.

He was not looking for your point of view or an opinion for that matter. He was asking a valid question as to what it would take and where could he find parts to do the conversion. I have answered half of the question.

Now I will answer the other. Just post up in the WTB section.
