Title: RE: Steering boxes

No, early 1600's (68/9 were imported from Japan and have non collapsing steering shaft that is integral with the steering box - Spear, Terry calls them - because they can spear you in a severe front end prang.  Not desirable. You can (should) upgrade to the safer Aussi design if you find a suitable collapsible steering column (180B may fit?)and fit the 120Y box. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rowe, Adam To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 13 December 2001 10:52 AM Subject: RE: Steering boxes Do they fit early =600's? -----Original Message----- From:   Richard Clough [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:   12/12/2001 22:03 To:     [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:       =/B> Re: Steering boxes Possible problem could be that the =hassis rail that the box is bolted to is moving with the extra load of the fat =ubber.  Look at the box while moving the steering wheel, if it moves =ideways, you would be best to brace the box to the side of the strut =ower. Its unlikely to be worn out beyond =djustment.  But, if turning the screw down on top of the box, or taking =hims out from under the box cover doesn't fix any slack, get a good (lower K's) =teering box from a 120Y, these fit later (70-72) =600's. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
