Has anyone fitted a W201 steering box into a W123? - fha772 - 05-29-2011
Hi all,
As the title says really, since I've been thinking about converting my 280E track car project to rack and pinion steering. A friend has got in touch to say he has a 190E 2.5-16v, steering box, that I can have. Which is roughly 2.5 turns lock-to-lock.
This sounds like the simpler option to me, just just swap 1 steering box for the other, so has anyone done this swap?
Thanks Frank.

fha772 Hi all,The guys at Black smoke racing in Finland used a Jag ( i think) rack and pinon to give more steering .

16v's don't have rack and pinion, its just a short ratio steering box. I have both a W123 300TD & a W201 16v, if you were to ask me I don't think it will be a bolt on affair. Do you have a welder and fabrication skills?
