ejparrott Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 300's have been fitted onto Series gearboxes so I don't see why not. They are also fitted into normal Series' so a lightweight shouldn't pose any major difficulties. Will you be converting to PAS though? Its not needed on a shorty, but you do need to do something about the PAS pump, and I don't know if its as easy with a 300 as it is with a 200.

tuko Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The PAS pump was easy to solve when I ran without PAS. I ran the two lines from the pump to the reservoir which allowed them to circulate the PAS fluid back and forth. OH, BTW Brian the PAS pump works like a charm! Super happy, thanks mate. Todd.
