mk1 mk2 mk3 drop arm

[Luke]

ok to add i think the burhman and the standard are the same fittings - just the burhman one is thicker

the burhman h/duty was also fitted to mk 2

i take it that still had the column joined to it or was it seperate like the mk3's

also a bit more info to fit the mk3 pas box into the mk1/2 you need the mounting plate off a mk3 as the holes are different - with the mk3 plate you have the option to fit all the boxes - you just use the holes to suit

here's a pic of the mk3 mounting plate

Yep I was quite lucky and bought mine with that plate

all great info there luke, looking at the mk3 pas box and mk3 heavy duty box, the drop arms look very similar. i wonder have they the same tapered spline where they go onto the box?? i imagine a heavy duty burhman would be slightly more common than pas mk3,s

the reason i ask is while i done a lot of research on alternative pas boxes to fit to mk1/mk2,s the closest thing i could find was one from a jeep cheroke (would need to be from an lhd one mind) could be made to fit without too much chopping etc but it has a cranked drop arm which deffo wouldnt work, ..........but heres the interesting bit,....the mk3 pas drop arm will fit straight onto the cheroke spindle!! it has the identical 3 position master spline!

so i was thinking if the heavy duty arms are same as pas ones and not that scarce the jeep cheroke box mite be a viable option as theyre cheap to buy on the bay etc

once i've pulled this arm off the h/d box i'll see - but at a guess i'd say not

infact even if i cant find my puller to get the arm off i'll measure them at least if it was a no we'd know for sure
