oval steering box - rebuild or swap??
Can you get parts to rebuild an oval steering box - if so where and how much..? Does an early 60's unit just swap in? Any other hints appreciated, I
have tried adjusting it and it has still got the wobbles.
Thanks

Did You adjust the small screw at the top???
then try the large nut or socket at the bottom???
I would just replace it with another box...
Mick motors sells new ones for $180...
I picked up a spare steering box in good condition on ebay
a few months ago....

I think an early 60s box would bolt up OK...
If the oil has leaked out of a steering box...
refill it with lithium based Moly grease....
