The last post here was entered some 7 years ago but old posts don’t become redundant do they. I am in a dilemma on whether to rebuild my 7-tooth steering box or modify with a 2 tooth. There is no clear answer is there? Opinions exist for both.

The man who rebuilt this car, my tourer, is Henry (not to be confused with Ford) who was born the same year as this car was built. He told me years ago that the A was a beaut motor car except for the steering box. That has been clearly demonstrated. The addition of a shortened pitman arm made it easier to steer but the free play has worsened.

My next step is to find if there are any 2 toothers for sale. Before anyone rushes me with offers of help, except for opinions, be advised in good ol Aus we drive on the left side of the road.

There was a bloke in Nelson, New Zealand, who once contacted me and offered me a 2 toother. If he reads this and still has them for sale he might contact me again please.

Thanks to all of you who have entered a post on this thread.
