70 series stock PS box?

Its actually mounted on a european 70 series travelling in australia, now stranded with a broken pitman arm.
No pitman arm available in AU (RHD) so he ordered one in germany but the darn thing dont fit.....

I googled but it doesnt look like a usual 70 series box or other Toyota boxes i found pictures from... maybe the previous owner has put this box there?

count the splines and go from there.

Got the mistery cleared up.

The previous owner from spain did convert the 75 to ps with a Nissan Patrol 160 power steering box.......

Next trouble will be getting a lhd pitan arm for that in australia.......

Which it's the closest LHD source you guys have .. ?

Thailand or Philippines .?

I would try to source from there a 70 series PS box .. doing the complete swap back to OEM. I mean sure you can make contacts on Spain ( I can help ) or rest of Europe to source the pitman .. but worth ?

Another option that would involve a bit of surgery it's buying a IFS PS box from USA and make it work.

Shipping from USA to Australia should not be that bad ..
