Power steering for a TD from New Zealand?
« on: September 04, 2011, 07:53:05 PM »
I seem to recall one of the forum members from New Zeakand saying that he bought a power steering unit for his TC or TD from the rading post or similar in New Zealand.
Since then I have emailed heaps of wreckers in NZ and all the replies are in the negative for a power steeing unit from a British Cortina to fit my TD. If the guy I am talking about is reading this, can you please PM me through this forum in regards to getting a power steeeing unit.
By the way, am I the only one on this forum these days?
Tegards,

NZ had australian version cortinas as well in regards to the te/tf vs mk4 and 5. you have to go to a rhd european country to get a mk4 or 5 rack.

a te or tf front end is a major engineering feat just for power steering although after watching tils thread anything is possible :D
