Been away just caught up with this. Following with intrest
Ive been building / modifying LR for 35 years
Defenders don't have rack & pinion steering have a PAS steering box . I would not even bother I have armstrong steering in mine & its a non issue.
If you do there is no problem putting an RRC column in a Defender , Ive done it in a RRC/ Series hybrid , Defer steering wheel even fits.
This is my Electric LandRover www.goingbush.com/ptev.html
If you want to ditch the constant 4x4 ( I'd keep it) Santana PS10 / Iveco Massif have a 2WD /4WD version of the LT230 transfer case , it will bolt straight in.
or Ashcroft have a 2wd/4WD kit for your LT230
