In this pic of a drilled/tapped steering box which hose goes to which end of the ram? I know I could just experiment but power steering fluid is sooo messy!!!!:D

IIRC the bottom hose goes to the cylinder end. And the rest is self explanitory.
 
errr...cylinder end? My ram, as all do, has a fitting at each end of the ram.
 
The upper hose on the steerring box goes to the port on the right side of this picture-

So basically, blazd88 is correct.

:D
 
hook the hoses up and turn the wheel before you mount the cylinder!

Except my box is dry 'cause i stripped it to clean it. And I wanted to get it all mounted up while I had it up in the air with all the front sheet metal off.
Thanks KJ, that's what I needed. For some reason my English brain couldn't make out what Blazd88 was trying to explain :blush: .
Thanks guys.:D

Wouldn't it depend on which way the ram is mounted?
You're right about that but fortunately I know from a previous post which way round KidJethro has his ram mounted!:D
