Fitting a new steering relay to your series Landy
Just be aware that the new relays that you buy today will be a slightly smaller Diameter than the old one you take out.
Todays New steering relays are a slightly smaller diameter than the old originals, so fitting at the top with the 2 bolts is fine that will hold it in place but at the bottom the relay will be a slack fit in it's collar so a new smaller diameter collar needs to be fitted to stop the relay from moving around and causing slop in the steering................... I made my own out of 3 mm plate and fitted it in place of the old collar.
Job done and it works fine.
I believe you can buy a modified smaller diameter collar for somewhere around £37 on ebay but I thought I'd just make my own that way I know it will fit!
I made it to fit the width of the chassis as I might just tack weld it on the 4 corners just for a bit of extra strength.
