Re: rebuilding a pre-36 steering box - parts interchangeability
The early Chevy pick up boxes are much supperior to the Ford boxes. Maybe you could find an early 50's Chevy box and bolt that in. They are recirculating ball design like a Vega.

Re: rebuilding a pre-36 steering box - parts interchangeability
Yep, looks like it. I know nothing about early Chevys, here in the U.S. or worldwide.

However there are some good companies- I once brought a set of brake drums form Snyders . One was cracked . I sent photos and they shipped a new one that day -Didn't want the old one back While we are talking steering boxes what is the size and thread of the filler plug on the 34 box ? Karl

No, the issue is that THEY SCREWED-UP! They either mis-labeled the part, or didn't have the expertise OR DESIRE to understand the idiosyncrasies of the parts involved, nor the desire to stand-by any form of customer satisfaction. The RIGHT thing to do when in business is to eat crow and pony-up when mistakes are made. DD |

Re: rebuilding a pre-36 steering box - parts interchangeability
So that will just mean that the sector shaft will hang out further out of the steering box if fitted to an earlier steering box?

Re: rebuilding a pre-36 steering box - parts interchangeability
No, It is the other way around. The 35-6 sector is shorter. That is why the swap is impossible.

Macs/Ecklers still advertises a right hand drive only worm and sector on their website under a 48 part number prefix, but I am reluctant to go down that path again. there is a place in England that sells rhd parts, probably sourced from Macs. I might contact them to see if they have rhd parts to suit. Otherwise - I have an F1 box with N.O.S. parts, and could change the mount and cut my losses with original 32-34 steering boxes. Or there's those steering boxes from NZ!!!! |

Re: rebuilding a pre-36 steering box - parts interchangeability
Mark I would go with Teds NZ box . It will fit perfectly and outperform even the best restored box .-Karl
