Guys Iv`e found a power steering set up for the 41 that is a all new (not
rebuilt )  that includes all nessary brackets and arms(for adjustment) from
A guy that I have done business with before.

All quality stuff the last steering box I bought.   $600.00 for the set up,
Does not include the pump or hoses. will fit in the same location and
mantain the original steering coloum If desired.

Have NOT found anyone with a disk brake set up yet!  Golden gave me some
leads But havn`t panned out yet.  If any of you guys know of someone Give me
a shout.
