Steering box swap help

gixernick · Jul 4, 2008

Just changing the 6 bolt box four a four bolt one on a 200tdi. The pipes on the six are left to right as your stood in front, left input right output, and on the four they are one infront of the other in line with the wing. So i don't know which is in and which is out??
Any one help?

I also have a 6 bolt box which is leaking, when at eastnor recently, I talked to the guy on the ADWEST stand and he told me that all 200 Tdi land rovers came out off the production line with a 4 bolt adwest box.
My leaking gemmer 6 bolter looked like a replacement box anyway as it was (is) a vivid bright green colour, a search through the posts sugests that 6 bolt gemmer boxes are a cheaper replacement for what should have been a 4 bolt adwest box.
I don't think that changing the pipework around would be a big job.

Was kinda in the same boat not so long ago, me green bus had the 6 bolt and the white one had the 4 bolt and ah thought about swapping them over. Only prob was the white ones box was leakin' and had a look at the pipes and the were different, so ah just got another 6 bolt box... Much easier

And when ye say about the green colour... mines was like that.

Bit late with a reply here, but just changed mine from a six bolt to a four bolt, pipework fittings are the same and everything else lined up. Had to fit a different drop arm though. The difference in steering response is wonderful, no more calculating the distance before a bend to start turnining the wheel.
