[NoVa-Corvairs] Anybody have a Spare Steering Gear Box?

[A.L. CRAMP]

Hey Mark,

Do you have the type with the long shaft?   Non adjustable.

I have a shell of a 65 that has a good box.

Not apart yet.   Most of it going to Frank DuVal  for body parts.  So it may need the box to get it down there.

Fast steering not optional for 65.   But others on this list know how to do it for your Corsa.     Thanks.

Hi All,

  To investigate the play in my steering, I wiggled under my car to have a look at the pitman arm while my girlfriend slowly rotated the steering wheel.  I noticed there was a large dead spot where rotation of the steering wheel translated in NO movement in the pitman arm.

  A couple years ago, looseness in my steering was adjusted/minimized when Ron clued me into the worm gear adjustment hole in the trunk (I didn't even know it was there) and tightened things up for me.

  I think it's time to retire the steering gear box in my 1965 Corsa.  Does anybody have a spare steering box they'd like to sell?  I suppose this is also an opportunity to upgrade to a quick ratio steering box.  Do I want to do that?

  Thanks everyone!  I hope you've all been out in your Corvairs this week enjoying the fine weather!
