I think that's his only show - don't recall ever seeing him anywhere else. But I've not been to BVF in a few years so not sure if he still does that show at all. Not got a clue about his name though! ::) :D Title: Re: Steering box rebuild Post by: Phil West on May 12, 2008, 13:51:05 pm Can anyone recommend anywhere to get my original steering box rebuilt?

Rebuild of an old box will cost that and you still have old parts! I was considering doing mine but was much easier and safer to fit a new one. The G&S one is a VW audi stamped one from South America and seems really good quality.

Not sure if they ship overseas mind. I swapped out the original on my 61 - note this box has the smaller shaft so I had to get a later pitman arm ('67 I think?). I use it for drag racing (big wheelies) and it's been great, very tight. Good fit when it went on. Sorry Ben not sure what you guys sell but I know this one works!! ;) Title: Re: Steering box rebuild Post by: SteveW on May 13, 2008, 10:35:08 am Thanks all! Ben, I'll speak to you soon! (Are the pans in yet?!!)

Still waiting's no problem, when we got the heater channel bottoms made that took a year! :D Title: Re: Steering box rebuild Post by: benssp on May 13, 2008, 11:24:52 am Title: Re: Steering box rebuild Post by: SteveW on May 13, 2008, 12:14:55 pm Cool!
