Ok, a few months ago I had a post on hear about having a problem with getting the free play/slack out of my seven tooth steering sector/box! I was advised to remedy the problem too install a two tooth box. well I have acquired one & gone thru it completely & I am in the process of dry fitting it on the bench. my question is the screw driver slotted stud at the bottom. I think I understand it's purpose but not for Shure! if I am correct you adjust it in conjunction with the cam nut with the cone in it, trying to get the best alignment possible between the two gears! am I any where close on what it is for? one other question! in the bottom of the sector where the light switch goes! lust above that plate there is a concave washer, looks like it goes on the bottom of the steering shaft gear! I can't see any useful purpose for it! what is it there for?
