Re: adapting '35 steering box to '28 A
Rob Turner is not the only guy who can rebuild a 7 tooth box nicely (accentric bushes) around here. Fellow Model A club member Fred Motschall also does them.
Have you considered putting a RHD 2 tooth box in? I know they are hard to lay your hands on but it is possible. I have a spare pair of castings and the rest of them is available new.

Re: adapting '35 steering box to '28 A
The RHD F100 box is is much different than a LHD one , not only in shape etc , Im trying to machine one up now, We produce the RHD drop coloum mount, Also the new short RHD pitman arm, I have a number of gemmer RHD steering boxes in stock plus the new worm & sectors if required , Only thing better than a gemmer box with short pitman arm would be Randys E100 box but is lhd, huge job to convert a RHD f100 box to fit , Go for the 30-31 gemmer , easy simple , all A bits fit ,

Re: adapting '35 steering box to '28 A
Not sure about NZ, but I don't think many Ford F100's or Chev 1/2 ton were sold here.
Most people used a ute, and anything bigger was probably an International. International Harvester originally competed with our Sunshine Harvester and then built trucks here due to import restrictions. |

Re: adapting '35 steering box to '28 A
The eccentric bush in the 7 tooth non adjust '28 '29 'box is a good fix ; it renewed my steering box, done approx. 20 years ago.
A lot of early A's also have had the '30 '31 RHD Gemmer 'box put in, but means you have to use keyed late wheel & column is a bit shorter too. There were no RHD adjustable boxes in '29 [as in LHD]. Cheers. |
