RE: Steering Boxes

Title: Steering Boxes

I thought the reason the 120Y Pitman arm wasn't used was the fitting on the end that connects to the cross rod is a different size. Don't know really, I've never done one but ppl have done it. According to the book the ratio of the 120Y box is the same as a 1600 i.e. 15:1 so it should be the same turns lock to lock. My 1600 has the straight steering arms from a '69 SSS which seem to make it feel more direct than the later models.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Simpson Sent: Tuesday, 13 August 2002 12:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Steering Boxes Arent the 120Y boxes ment to have a longer steering arm, but less turns lock to lock?  Arent these the ones people put into 1600's but with the 1600 steering arm rather than the 120Y one?   Chris S ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 7:43 PM Subject: RE: Steering Boxes Ross,   4 turns is stock - 5 must work up a bit of a sweat. A 1600 is supposed to have 4 turns also, beats me but I can only get a bit more than 3 out of mine and it's a tad heavy but I love it in Canberra for ripping through roundabouts.   regards Terry  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ross Goddard Sent: Monday, 12 August 2002 11:59 AM To: Ozdat (E-mail) Subject: Steering Boxes Hi list Got a spares car on the weekend for bits while I rebuild my Stanza. I think it has a slightly quicker steering box. The new car has about 4 turns lock to lock, my car has about 5. Is there a more scientific way to check this (ie number stamped somewhere?) or do I just swap them anyway? The new car is 1980, my car is 1981 if its any help.
