Thread: Series 1 80" steering box - who can overhaul?

overhauling them is easy..

getting the bits.... not quite so.

Most of them come from the UK and if they're not britparts are bespoke in limited numbers with matching prices

Not sure who overhauls them locally but parts would probably have to come from the UK as Blknight mentions.
Most of the usual UK suppliers have parts for late Series I boxes.

Parts:-
Land Rover Series 1 Steering Manual Box | John Craddock Ltd
Rebuilds :-
Series One, II, IIa, 3 and Steering Relay
Seems that ICS make the parts so might sell them as spares ?? Worth contacting them.

hi jeff i have 1 cast iron steering box left jim ps how are you going with my 107 station wagon jim

I think the issue is the early worm and nut box, not the later recirculating ball box that came, from memory, with the 86".

I think the 86" was still a worm & nut box, at least it is on my 86" with alloy steering box.
