I'm trying to resurrect an old B414 and the steering box is totally knackered. Parts are somewhat unavailable and rather expensive. A new box is available but is $600. I'm thinking that if I'm going to that much effort etc that I might be better off converting it to hydrostatic steering. I'm thinking I will plumb a rotary hand metering valve into the existing hydraulic system (via a priority valve) and build a new drag link incorporating a hydraulic cylinder with an appropriate rear mount.

Also any good ideas to find out how much force it will require to turn the front wheels so I can size my cylinder appropriately? Any other thoughts and ideas would be great. Thanks, Sam
