Afternoon one and all!

Quick question, is there anywhere in the UK who can either refurb or supply a new / recon power steering box for a 2nd Gen camaro? Or even have a 2nd hand good one for sale per-chance!

I'm not worried about the added complexity of converting to the third gen box as I'd rather avoid the complexities of changing lines / adapters / pitman arm etc. Kind of like the 'character' of vague steering........

But, I get a nice pool of power steering fluid under my box on a regular basis. Looks like the lower seal is leaking from what I can tell (though from all the crud around the box it's obviously been leaking for a long time and as such is hard to find exactly where it's coming from).

I've checked RockAuto and can't find a box listed, can get one from Summit no-probs (a refurb one is only $108 plus $25 core charge, but is the nearly the same again in postage / vat via iParcel which is their cheapest option).

Just wondered if anyone had one lying around they wanted to sell me? Or if anyone new someone who could do a refurb......

Cheers

Feeling slightly stupid, now found them on Rock Auto. Under Steering Gear, not Steering Box.

But still only available via the US. So if anyone has any UK suggestions that would be great, if not I'll order from either Summit or Rock Auto.

PS - Presumably I will need new seals on the hoses as well? Or are they compression / copper fitment?
