Title: MC8 steering upgrade
Post by: skytrends on August 20, 2017, 08:02:26 AM
Who is doing steering upgrades to integral power steering on MCI'S these days? Fred Hobe did my MC7 back in early 2000's but I'm sure  if he's still around he's not doing it anymore as he'd be close to 90 years old. Anyway, want to find someone do it on my MC8. Thanks

After driving my MC5 coach from Indiana to Seattle up the mountains of Montana I would welcome upgrading not only from the ram steering type to the integral but any other upgrades!

B&B did mine but they are no longer at the same location.  You might check with Van and Gary

Have it done although I, may buy the kit and have someone else do it. I'm in south Texas now and when I,  leave here it will be to head to Quartsite, AZ. for the winter. Kansas City area would be the wrong direction
