Hydro assist parts from Solvefunction (4 Viewers)

[Outsane]

I needed a larger resevoir to go with the hydto assist kit, also nice to have one that leaks less then oem with a new cap.

Psc mounts coming soon.



Working on a full kit for hydro assist.

These are the brackets

I used a 1in ram like @dirtlifestylenate did and love it. Smaller ram means less lag in the system with a smaller ram.

I can now crawl with the front locker on and turn. It also behaves well on the street.

I also tap and rebuild steering boxes with 105 shafts.
For those who want to do their own.
I have a template to mark tapping locations.

This comes with a plug to keep the shavings out of the needle bearings. I had to print something.

@Delta VS going to make the hoses, they have all the machines needed for custom lengths.

The kit/parts is made to make the whole process easier.

I’m using an Appleton power steering reservoir for years now. No issues.

Chase bays with hose fittings

just confirming, is this the one? I clicked on OEM push in fittings, not AN fittings.

Very nice! I’d like to add Hydro assist… Where is this kit you speak of?

Nice work as always....I've had some growl & howl when crawling, installing the Witt's End style kit for the cooler really helped, but definitely interested in a functional ram system too that would help with the stiff crawl steering. I have the 105 sector rebuild kit and the delta vs reinforcement plates on the shelf for when I do the box. May need to at least drill and plug the box for now in anticipation of upgrades...

IIRC, did you have a pic a while back of how the ram is mounted on yours? If so, can you re-post? Also assuming that this works fine with the @Delta VS steering rod upgrades since I think I saw those on your rig too, correct?

 

[Outsane]

Works great with the @Delta VS steering arms.

will you have the brackets for sale on the website? I looked but didn't see them on there, but the wording in this post sounds like it's still a developing story. I have a 61 but I assume that the brackets should work on my axle housing as well.

Tie rod is in the front on a 61.
Probably need to modify to make it work as everything is different. And a shorter ram.
