Finally finished the beerdoc's steering box yesterday. Machined it and fitted tapered roller
bearings top and bottom (got rid of those crappy ball bearings and cups),
machined the output shaft, made and fitted new brass bushes and installed new seal.
Is really smooth and has negligible backlash - so you've
got to be happy with that!

Looking good!!! Are the internals for LH and RH drives the same?? (sorry to get off topic)

Most of the parts are universal. Unfortunately the most important part
- the shaft and worm - is RHD or LHD specific.

Thanx for that Rob...I have a "new" LHD one here and don't know what to do with it...

That's a LHD brazilian box or a german box(ZF)?

What does it owe you? If german I'd be interested in the output shaft
and pin but I've got a feeling that it'd work out
horribly expensive to buy the whole thing just for those parts?
