Re: Rebuilding a '54 steering gear.
So much for Redhead. They aren't much interested in do-it-yourselfers who are seeking info and perhaps an obscure part. So I decided I'll fabricate one. All I need is a tube the same diameter of the bearings that is 3 1/2 inches long. Lo and behold, the oil fill tube for the engine is the correct OD and has a larger ID than the sector shaft so it won't rub. Now all I have to do is find the valley cover from the scrap engine that is buried in the scrap metal pile.
