reversing a corvair steering box

any adviice on how to go about it, or where i can find a diagram on how to go about it?

 

I did one years ago.Just unscrew the end cap,remove the steering shaft,take the seal out of the housing and replace with a freeze out plug.Then you have to drill or machine a hole in the end cap to fit the seal in then just install the steering shaft the other way.I had a machine shop take care of the hole in the end cap.If the seal is good all you have to buy is the freeze out plug.Good Luck

 

I have a buddy who did this just recently. Send me a PM and I'll forward it to him and see if he'll show you how.

 

checkout nationaltbucketalliance.com
look under technical pages under forums, and there is a great article with pics.

If this link works, it should help.

Hot Rod November 1967 has an article on how to do it.

 

There's one a little more recent in Hot Rod Deluxe.
I think I did it last year for a tech article.

My office is in a... "transitional" phase right now, so I don't know what issue it would have been in.

Is the steering box from a van the same as a car?

 

did the same thing to a early manual camaro box just last night, one thing a had to to different was also reverse the sector gear so it would run square in the box. i wanted something a little beefier for my t- coupe build but still retain the traditional steering. if you take you time and pay attention it will work well

 

Never tried but i got one i can mess with .
thanxz for the post.
