Hi guys, brand new FED project, just getting up to steering stage - what is everyone using for dragster steering boxes nowdays ? Have searched evilbay with no joy, what brand should I be searching for ? What brands have been around , I know of spe, williams, currie but what others ? Does anyone have one they want to sell or should I jus use a p***enger car steering box ? If so, what type ? I am in australia so its not quite so easy to access info sometimes down here........can anyone help ? Cheers guys
Currently Strange, Flaming River and Stiletto have new dragster/funny car boxes available. The Strange and Flaming River units are pretty much the same as the old SPE and P & S units ( which are no longer available) and the Stiletto is a different design, a bit bulkier but very smooth operating. If you can find an old Standard Cadet or Austin A30 unit that is what we used back in the 60's. Roo
I have a decent used P&S box with arm $175 YOU just have to figure out how to get it, my throwing arm isnt what it use to be
Bump - anyone.... the p & S box that Bruce offered had been sold before he could get his hands on it so still looking..........
Ross is a good box ... small, simple, but not so easy to find these days. I think they were used in early Jeeps, and if anyone has one, I'd be interested myself.
How soon are you trying to get one? I know we all get the bug for "right NOW" but they do go on fleabay from time to time. I got my p&s for like $150 on there a couple of years ago.
Check out www.donrossfab.com . Look under products I have a extended Ross box, And two extended Fiat boxes. Don Ross
