Hi all, been working on my steering system. HY-Drive ram and helm. The mfg sent me a ram rebuild O-ring kit. Worked great. Helm is thier 302 unit Rear mount.

Im attempting removal to also do a seal kit. But if its not succeasful, I will replace.

Can a front mount unit take its place? Dimension-wise I see std front units that will sit almost where my wheel is now.

Im assuming id have to enlarge the hole as all that pokes thru now from the back is the shaft.

Thanks for any input.
