The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Right hand drive steering worm advice needed

Viv W · 03-24-2019, 05:12 PM

Hi All,
I'm working on the steering boxes on both my 35 Ford V8 and a freinds model A, both cars are right hand drive and both cars have damaged worm and sectors.
Last night I was going thru Mac's online catalogue and they list the RHD and LHD worms under seperate part numbers, but then they also say the RHD worm can be used also for LHD ???
This does not seem right to me and I'm wondering if Mac's actually know the difference between the 2 items. It worries me to order any of these parts, because if I do, I may ship them half way around the world, only to find they are wrong.
My other question is the Model A steering box is marked with a raised "F" on the casting, will the Gemmer parts Mac's list fit this steering housing.
Thanks for any advice.
regards
Viv.
