I can't seem to visualize the installation ahead of me.
As a side note, Randy sure is a great guy to talk to. He gave me a couple of adjustment tips, before ordering, to try correcting my miserable hard steering, and save me the cost of the F100. Can't beat his honesty! The adjustments didn't work out..so off I go to another "Model A Adventure!

I replaced the 7 tooth steering box in my 29 tudor with a Randy Gross unit, and all went well. He modifies the 29 steering column so the F100 box will fit. I ordered it with new throttle, spark, and horn rods so everything just fit and worked.
BTW this will not make it feel like your model A has power steering, but it will feel more like a 30-31 2 tooth setup. Double check to make sure someone has not installed one of those stupid horizontal shock absorber "steering stabilizers" as a band-aid "fix" for a loose front end. The best thing I ever did is get rid of that crappy thing, and properly rebuild the front end. My 29 steers wonderfully, and I fear no bumpy road, or rail road crossing!
