Title: RE: Steering boxes
|
All
Aussie cars first rego'd after late 71ish are supposed to have a
collapsible steering column fitted OEM and I think Nissan also fitted the
locking steering when they changed over, I cant recall ever seeing a spear with
a factory steering lock. On an early 1600 you have to fit the collapsible
column off a late 1600 and then a 120Y box - someone said on here a while ago
that a 200B column works.
It's a
pity the early box has to be changed as they are a superior box to the Aussie.
It's not the actual box that's different but it the flexible coupler that the
collapsible column requires to attach to the input on the
box.
what
about 1200's? mine is an '82, is it likeley to spear you as
well?
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.

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.
