I can’t seem to find a power cylinder for my maverick... or the hoses that attach to it… I’ve called almost every were and can’t find any thing. I don’t know what to do? Are there any other options for me? Does anyone have a power cylinder they want to sell? Please help…
njntek; do away with the power steering. Go to any Mustang resto house, or AutoKrafters, and get the adapter that does away with that stuff. Or, go to a junk yard and get the manual steering from another car. You will need the center link, and I believe that is all. The steering gear is all the same, so yours is good. If you need other things, these folks can tell you. Hope this helps. Earl
Where would I order this adapter?… I know that here in Alberta there aren’t any mustang supply houses… so do these supply houses in the USA have any power cylinders?
njnjtek, There's a company in Ohio that I dealt with several years ago when I wanted to repair mine. I don't have the information on me at the moment but let me get home tonight and look. I'm sure I at least have a phone number. Sam
njnjtek; Summitt, Jegs, or AutoKrafters has them. Go to them online-Summittracing.com, Jegs.com, AutoKrafters.com, and they should all have them. You will see them in the Mustang magazines-Mustang and Fords has them in there all the time. Let us know how it goes. Earl
All the repair/replacment parts are found at Mustang parts suppliers. The cylinder is the same on a many ford cars using the same steering system. Getting anything shipped to Canada can be a problem though.
Canadian Mustang http://www.canadianmustang.com is located in Langley, BC and have power to manual steering conversion kits, but according to their website, only for 1965-70 model years. Maybe if you call or email them they'll be able to tell you if they have anything for later model years. I found them to be very helpful in dealing with.
