still attached to the gear box laying on the floor next to the frame mount for the gearbox :D theres no going back to conventional steering now :D

how much did the valve run ya, and how much extra for the shaft and linkages that you needed,i am assuming you bought all of this from station, and i am really about to get full hydro setup, just wondering the costs, i know i can trust station since everyone else on this board does. it looks nice.

PM Station on this Board

i baught 2 complete setups and he gave me a deal

don't suppose you'd be at all interested in parting with that stock pitman arm for a few bones or some beers???

I need an extra, since I am going to WELDING :eek: on mine.

Will it work on an XJ?

Foley

i had a drop pitman arm on mine 4" (i had 6" susp lift)

XJ and TJ are the same but i believe a stock XJ works as a 1" drop TJ

Do a search on cowtown i beleive insayn or robbie took some pictures of each side by side

Thank you for your business/support, Brian.

Interesting mounting.

The valve WILL work on it's side like that, but cavitation can become a problem. I am interested to see of you have any problems with that. Hopefully you don't. The one thing that I am thinking though is that you are almost definitely going to have to run the valve straight up for the initial bleeding.

Even if you do get some cavitation over time, it would quickly be fixed by turning the valve upright to bleed it out. Cavitation should not be anything that you have frequent problems with anyway;Maybe few and far between if you DO have ANY problems at all.


Thanks,
Sean

good to know and thanks again

Does cavitation happen when these are mounted with the openings pointed down?

Sean
shoot me an e-mail on costs......
I have a friend wanting one. what is the brand and how many turns...

Yes, it would be even worse. The valves can't really pump air at all, so any air in the valve when it is upside down would be trapped.

Sean

so correct mounting would be to rotate it 90 degrees so the hoses go straight up ???

ill have to see if i have room for the hoses up there...

Station can you tell me What size / style fittings go into the valve ?

The fittings you need are #8 (3/4"-16) boss O-ring.

Station ???

i saw a pic of Wagoneer MAchines and it was mounted almost identical to mine ??? would it be better if the hoses were pointing up ?

Mounting with the ports up is the *correct* way to mount the valve. I would like to hear how well yours works like that though. It may work just fine.

Sean

i will let you know next week :D

check your e mail i gave it to a buddy he has a rockwell orbital valve requirement (his name is Kelly Parker)

Brian

fwiw just saw a chevy truck and they had the orbital valve mounted on just like in your pic (opposite side of frame of course).

Station, I e-mailed you and got no responce?

Station

emailed you for orbitol valve info
