"Before" worked for me this morning. Perhaps it is because he just posted a new link and left the old one which didn't work (and still doesn't).

Not sure if you have a source for the new gears you need, but I had great luck with C&G Ford parts. You might give them a try when you're ready to re-assemble.

Thanks, the JB “wield” was pretty good to work with. In the bigger gaps it took two applications and even some masking tape to keep it from sagging.

Moving on, I have the steering box kit from early ford parts and I have the sector roller fitted to the shaft. How should I fix the roller pin (that goes through the needle bearings) so it does not come out of the holder? The old one was mushroomed on both ends, I had to grind an end off. The new pin is chamfered.

Steering wheel and rebuilt box installed. What next? I know it’s a question only I can answer. There is still that “vacuum” after one project is done. Guess I’ll fill it with two wheels during our record breaking warm spell.

Very nice work on that steering wheel! Sounds like you're going through all the systems - one at a time . . . way to go!

86 you have done a masterful job on the wheel, and I can only say that you will do the same on the s box.

Merry Christmas.
