Hi Dave. I have spoken to Rob in hope that the gemmer box components could be adapted and the answer was no. It seems every one knew that except Gary but when I view the two boxes that was the obvious answer. Also those I ask all say the 28 box will still have much slop regardless of what bearings or bushes I use. the steering is the only thing that distracts from total driving pleasure. It also seems replacing this steering box with a 30 model gemmer is probably the simplest modification, it's just that I have this 35 model on my shelf. I'll give you a call when I get home. cheers, gary
