Pervert!

I think there's a bloke who's normally at BVF who does them. 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!

brand new box from German and Swedish will set you back 70 quid and you get total peace of mind.  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.

If there's no play in the worm gear, just run the original box. there's not much to wear out

Where can you get one of those german and or swedish units. the crap they sell here in the states is a cheap one...
thanks for the leads.

http://www.gsfcarparts.com/catalogues/gsf_aircooled_1006.pdf page 15 part 43000 £62+17.5% VAT.  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!!

Thanks all! Ben, I'll speak to you soon! (Are the pans in yet?!!)

The great British pan draught! The guy doing Sal's car is waiting for those too.  Still waiting's no problem, when we got the heater channel bottoms made that took a year!
