2F-ETI
Stock set up on right hand drive, I would not be suprised if that's an early 2F without power steering holes in Canadian set up but I couldbe wrong. As far as I know all factory power steering is on the drivers side. Either mounted off the head on right or off the block on the left. All blocks have the extra holes from 79 on which is why I imported a USA braket due to my set up.
May also be different in Canada if their is no smog pump.

I might actually have that bracket shown in the picture...
Just found this thread through search.
I am trying to convert my arm-strong steering over to power and plan to use a similar setup.
The main difference would be the steering box that I currently have is from an '85 forerunner.
My question is will the 80 series hoses work on the forerunner steering box or will I have to have a new connection put onto the high pressure hose at the box end.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know where the 4runner box sits but the stock FJ80 (or probably 62) high pressure line ended about halfway to my PS box (see pictures above). I cut the high pressure hose off the driver side and attached a fitting. Then I just cut some hose to fit. The hard lines require minimal bending to fit. They are so close to drop in, but will hit hte fan shroud and support on the driver's side.
The 4runner box sits the in same place as stock.

My main concern was the size of the fittings. Toyota seems to make things that are interchangeable.
So you lengthened your pressure hose?
Is that something that can be done at home? No special equipment?
Sorry for the questions, I'm not familiar with pressure hoses. Thought they needed a press or something to be made.
Thanks for the help.
I guess if nothing else, I can have a pressure hose made to length and insert a small tranny cooler on the return hose.

I guess I'm a purist. I won't cut my frame to mount the bracket. I got a PS casting and swapped the insides of the minitruck box into it. You really should rebuild the PS box at a minimum.
Anyway, the FJ80 PS pump side is direct plug in. The fitting for the high pressure screws right in (se picture). The low pressure uses a hose clamp. On the box side I used a 17-1.5 to -6AN and a 16-1.5 to -6AN. This just makes it easier for the hoses. I also have Toyota fittings that I may use later.
I cut the high pressure hose off with a dremel. Not easy and went through probably 6 cutting wheels. You have to go to a hose shop to get the fitting put on the hard line. Then you just need to buy a couple feet (measure well) of high pressure tubing. Screw the fittings onto the hose and connect it. Basically, everything but attaching the fitting to the hard line can be done at home. If you are in LA, just go to Orme Bros.
Does that make sense?
I have lots of hose and a couple fittings if you want them at a discount.

Where does one source the 17mm & 16mm to -6AN fittings?
That would make any PS swap easier, by allowing a homemade hose w/ US standard fittings.

High Pressure Port - 16 x 1.5 MM Inverted Flare to #6 JIC Male adapter, Toyota - 'PSC Motorsports' #PSC-SF06 or 'Summit Racing' #EAR-9919DFJERL
Low Pressure Port - 17 x 1.5 MM Inverted Flare to #6 JIC Male adapter, Toyota - 'PSC Motorsports' #PSC-SF07
As I understand it the smaller port is the press side.
Or
LEE MFG. CO in Sun Valley CA
818-768-0371
has
16mm x 1.5 inverted flare to #6jic for the pressure side and
17mm x 1.5 inverted flare to #6jic for the return side for
$8 each

I can't remember. But if you get at leat one OEM line you can figure it out. Or you can ask I will have to go measure which is which.

Can you take a picture of the hard lines? I'm interested to see if they are the same as FJ62/FJ80.

The pressure and return hard lines are different between 4x and 6x chassis, because the PS box is in a different location and the cooler line is on a different shaped frame.

Mace,
Thanks for the info on Lee Mfg. I just got off the phone with Tom and ordered 2 of each. They are weldable steel and come plated. I also found out that they make Vapor recovery tanks. I already have a design for one to replace the plastic factory recovery tank. If the quote is reasonable, I'll order one and post photos of the install.

Um, I was refering to the right hand PS pump mount. The Canadian PS pump is in the same position as the FJ62/FJ80. Since it is still a LHD vehicle it would by definition have to have similar PS hard lines. Unless they went up and over the engine. If it is a RHD vehicle, such as Oz, then the lines are mose likely a mirror of the normal FJ40 hard lines.
I think my fitting came from Lee Mfg. also. I went to Orme Bros in Van Nuys, but I think they order from there.

You mean a new charcoal canister for emissions?

No, I mean the plastic vapor recovery tank behind the sheet metal covering the fill hose. It has 3 lines on the bottom going to the gas tank and one on the top going to the charcoal canister. At least that is the configuration on my '78.
