Hydraulic steering set up..
I'm working on piecing together a hydraulic steering setup for my Corsa..
I came across a set of Latham 7" stroke rams so it'll all fit between my trim tabs..
Trying to figure out which helm to go with..
Using a cylinder volume calculator I come up with needing I come up with 22.14 cubic inches needed to go from lock to lock..
SO, If I go with a 6 in³ helm it'll be 3.6 turns and if I go with a 7.56 in³ it'll be 2.9 turns lock to lock...
....and of course there is nothing in between the two...
Which one would you go with ??
THANKS !!

2.9 turns! When I bought my full Zeiger system I was warned by others to specify a 120 cc (7.322849in³) helm to get just under 3 turns lock to lock. Otherwise I'd end up with 4 turns or more.

getting the helm unit mounted correctly is a HUGE deal, the slightest bind to one side will make it twichy as hell !!! had to have a custom column made to get my 253 right
