Re: steering Z bar
I did not think of this.
So now I need to add Merc TRE's to my list of parts and mod my steering as I want to get my SJ on the road, and I'm using a Merc steering arm high-steer kit.
And I've *just* bought new TRE's!
Anyone need some zuk TRE's?
Ho-hum. Still, at least this comes to light now, not at 70mph on the M25...

I need to find a solution to my steering setup. Iv emailed Rob Storr about his high steer kit.
What are the other options available? Mercedes steering arms and linkages?

Re: steering Z bar
What exactly needs doing to the Mercedes steering arms to fit them to the calliper mounts?
Then do I need to find some matching TRE's to fit into the original SJ steering links?

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

You need to burr the rear (outer) bolthole as they don't *quite* match up.Christoff wrote:What exactly needs doing to the Mercedes steering arms to fit them to the calliper mounts?

The zuke TRE's fit, but the merc ones would be a perfect fit, where the zuk ones apparently have a slightly different taper to them.
Then you also have to modify the drag link because it's now too wide.
