36 steering box
 

On my rebuilt steering box the shaft the pitman arm goes on to does not have a hole in it for a cotter pin. Has any one run into this before. I know i can drill a hole into the shaft but is there another way

Re: 36 steering box
 

Some pitman shafts use a large lock washer .

My F1 box uses a lock washer.

Part of 35 production used a hex nut and lock washer. It was changed in 35 to a slotted hex nut and cotter key. Make sure your sector shaft is 36 it should have the cotter pin hole.

My understanding was that a 35 and a 36 box were different but a wonder if a 35 sector shaft would work in a 36 box and if do does it make any differences

Re: 36 steering box
 

35--36 have different ratios, the sector has to match the worm
35-36 housing is the same, the part with the sector bushings(35), sector needle bearings (36)--although aftermarket 36 sector kits came with thick bushings many times

Thanks for the info.

Re: 36 steering box
 

36 was the only year with needle bearings for the pitman shaft. could also be a NOSR shaft

What is a nosr shaft

I think what is refered to is New Old Reproduction Stock...old aftermarket.
