Re: Full hydraulic steering

Have you been satisfied with the performance of the PSC power steering now that you've had it on your vehicle for awhile ?

POLY CV Boots

I am about to place an order for the polyurethane cv boots from fmv4x4.com. $88 each plus $59 shipping to US.

Are the other poly items they sell: diff brake diaphragm, and the shift boot also common parts to tear ? I am considering ordering them now to save on hassle and shipping in the future.

Flying Spanners - the 5.1's

does anybody have any feedback on the Flying Spanners high speed gears ? They've been offering the 5.99's for awhile, but have come out with a 5.1. Right now I have a completely stock C303.

Power Steering

Can anybody provide any updates on progress sourcing an appropriate new power steering system? Or can we hear from any of the guys who have successfully added a power steering system borrowed from another vehicle ?

The Carter inline pump dies about 2 months ago, and I replaced it with a Mr Gasket pump. The piece of garbage died already. Or at least help with how many GPH, and head lif...

oak rub rail dimensions

The PO removed the rub rails on my C303, and did body work over the bolt holes. He used a piece of thin wooden lath to replace the one on the rear tub. My dad has a friend who makes furniture, and is going to try to make some out of white oak. I know the guys who have replaced these tend to go a bit...

Solar Battery Charger ?

Has anybody ever installed these ? Looks like a decent system to run 12 & 24V accessories.

Does anybody have the part number for the 24V C303 starter ?

I have stumped 3 auto parts stores & 2 rebuilders. The guys at the Volvo truck parts dealer said they could help if I had the part #.

Thanks again in advance.
