Default Power steering/ Brake switch

Hi i was wondering where and how much a power steering kit would cost for my 1966 M35A2?

I was also looking for a new brake switch but i cant find one anywhere! Any good websites i can buy from?

What kind of power steering? Air-o-matic or Hydraulic?

Air-o-matic can be found here: http://www.m35products.com/Air-O-Matic.htm for $1799. Bolt-on kit you can install in a few hours.

Hydraulic power steering *can* cost less, but it's a roll-your-own proposition. Just search "Power Steering" in the deuce section and you'll find some great threads on the subject.

Do you need the air brake switch or the hydraulic brake switch? The hydraulic ones are everywhere for about $10.00. NAPA even has one for about that price. The air ones are closer to $40 and not as prevalent. I got one in the mail to me right now from OD Iron. I imagine places like Saturn and Memphis have them as well. I just didn't go looking.

The Air-O-Matic is nice - you have full manual steering in the event of air loss. However, you will NOT get the boost that a full hydraulic p/s system will give.

That being said, I can drive one-handed with my Air-O-Matic if I desire.
