: orbital valves. who needs one 6.6YJ 10-01-2002, 07:44 PM keep in mind i am not pimping any type of service or product for my own benefit. i just want to help anyone that may want one. i found a guy that has a few orbital steering valves for sale. he said he wants to get at least $175 for each. they are char-lynn valves. i have no clue as far as displacement or any thing but i could let you know in a few days when i get mine. email me or pm me and i could give you his number and name of i could call him for anyone. Station 10-01-2002, 07:49 PM $175 for used valves, or even valves that you have no idea what they are does not sound like a good deal to me. People sell used valves for MUCH less than that if that is what these are. Most agricultural valves do bnot work that well with automotive steering pumps because they require too much flow to work well. That is why it is not a good idea to get kust any old valve. Sean 6.6YJ 10-01-2002, 07:57 PM like i said before, i am just trying to find out if someone is interested. they are new valves. once i get mine or talk to the guy again. i will let ,whoever is INTERESTED the specifics. madmarx 10-02-2002, 06:36 AM Station, I have a new Char-Lynn valve that I am going to use on my CJ, but I have a question before I start installing it. The shaft is 36 spline with an od of about .850. Have you ever come across a ujoint that is usable to connect this to a steering column, or do you maching the shaft to like a .750 double d. Borgeson and flaming river have nothing that will work. The last option I have is to weld to teh shaft, but that just goes against my nature, and would probably be bad for the seals. Have you ever run into this, and what did you do about it if you have? Thank you very much for your time Mark RockRover 10-02-2002, 08:01 AM I had the same problem...Ended up hogging out one side of the u-j and then welding it on the male end of the shaft...I like you didn't want to do that, but in the end it's f'in stout and if I ever have a problem (VERY doubtful), buying a new adapter column won't be that bad. --D Toddy 10-02-2002, 08:08 PM Find something close slide it on tighten it up and drill a hole and put a bolt in it. Done and very strong if it is a snug fit before you put the bolt in it. Todd flimmy 10-03-2002, 02:51 PM I would be interested in one when you find out a little more, like a part # so I can see just what the spec's are. | |
