Just curious as to why you've ruled out Lares. I was
very happy with their rebuild of an early '55 steering box.

for a remanufacture. Basically, I have narrowed the list to Steer and Gear or
Firm Feel. S&G has a two-week tour around time and FF is two months. Mainly
because they both offer in house manufactured reaction rings to firm up the
feel. I am going to be asking, and willing to pay for, an
extraordinary level of quality control on this. I plan on driving this car as my
main car for a long time. I am even willing to go to the trouble of having parts
hard chrome plated to bring them back to specification if a replacement part in
not available. Basically, I am looking for perfection on this. Assuming the spare steering box I put in this last weekend is
good enough to get me around for a few months, I care much more about quality
that a fast turnaround time. I have secured the following NOS parts for this
rebuild:
If there are any parts that experience dictates that it would
be good for me to hunt down, please do advise me on
this. Most everything else the rebuilders should have.
If anyone has had their steering boxes rebuilt and used one
of the suppliers for a rebuild other than “stock” as to firmness and feel, I
would appreciate your subjective feelings as to how that worked out. In my case
the mission for the car is daily driving in San Francisco, think parallel
parking, as well as being our cross-country car. What I would also like to know if anyone has had any thought
after using either of the above providers good or bad. You can email me directly
at JDD@xxxxxxxxxx.
