Adjusting the steering wheel play in a 1951 Ford

[terry]

Maybe the steering box for a 48 F1 is totally different, but what my manual said to do
was to remove a shim after opening the end of the box. The shims were very thin pcs
of plastic if I remember right. It seemed something so thin would not make much difference. I was wrong. Removing one shim solved the pbm...no more steering wheel end play. terry
