Had some bad news this week after sending my steering box away for reconditioning.. needs a new worm gear as what's left of the original one is beyond help! I'm after a good second hand one preferably lhd but apparently I can use the worm gear out of the rhd version so either will do. Failing that it's going to have to be a power steering conversion so any info on that would also be appreciated as I may have to look down this route if I can't track a replacement down.
Thanks in advance
Chris

Try Able enginering or NK Recovery, maybe they can help you?????

Inner column and worm gear are different on LHD and RHD so no you can't use a RHD one I'm afraid.

Don't Craddocks still do recon steering boxes at a reasonable price? Or Blanchards maybe still stock the inner column.

Ics steering were saying they had the original parts left to overhaul 101 steering boxes. Perhaps give them a ring? Ics jcs I will try to get the link later for you.

My box is being replaced and I am putting in a P38 steering Box. The cost for reconditioning a poorly designed unit makes nonsense to me. I may consider selling it next month.

I'll document the process for others interested in a power steering upgrade and more reliable steering set up. P38 boxes sell in great condition for $75 in the US junk yards. They are fairly bullet proof compared to many Rover steering options and fit the available space well.

I've just found out my spare one is a RHD
