Hi Everyone. OldGold, I'm not an expert but did, ten years ago, update a 36 car to having the later box. It involved using a later bulb/light switch housing that covers the light switch and spring bail that holds it on, if I recall correctly. I think you need longer than the 36 used.

Someone will be along that knows better than I. But it's doable.

The earlier box didn't have ball bearings on the worm/sector so your later one is more better at ease of turning, like in parking lots. That's what I noticed the most.
