[For Sale] Steering box - 4 bolt type for refurb.
I recently removed my steering box as it was leaking from the bottom seal (just above where drop arm mounts) and because the drop arm ball joint gaiter was damaged. I fitted a replacement that didn’t need this as an exchange but I have have no need for it. It has a Dura Automotive plaque and some illegible digits on it. The drop arm is still attached but the nut and washer have been removed and reused on my new box.

It was still working well and smoothly but with my MOT looming, I opted to replace it.

I will describe it for refurb as I cannot say what the inside are like other than functioning. The top of it was dry until I removed the pipes.

Price wise, I will say £75. It will need collecting from Warrington as I’d imagine a courier fee would be biblical given its weight.

Drop me a PM or reply to this thread if interested.

The new box was a truwsteer from SP4x4 in Liverpool. It wasn’t the best experience with them to be honest.
The box went in but you have to carefully reshape the smaller metal pipe to make it fix the new location, bit of a faff but doable.

The new box is quite positive in feedback (as good as these are) and the air bled out ok. 2003 110 G4 used in 03 and 06 events - its well travelled.

I’ve ordered one, already in the post. 24 month warranty so hopefully all will be well. Cheers for the lead

When you say you had reshape what did you do. I’ve managed to get it to the location but the pipe doesn’t want to locate.

Sorry to bother you.

The advice I was given (via a facebook search) was to make the pipe fit. Gently and slowly bending the hard pipe will allow it to fit the new location, don't rush it as the pipe can fracture and that's a new problem to sort.

I'll try and find a picture. It's a bit of trial and error to get it in the right position but it does fit eventually.

The supplier was less than helpful, point of sale and money extraction is very efficient but after that... disappointing is the politest term I could describe it as. 2003 110 G4 used in 03 and 06 events - its well travelled.

This is final bend of my pipe where it reaches the port.

We ended up skimming 0.3 of a mm off the pipe. Fitted then. I haven’t driven it yet as it’s in a body shop having all the corrosion sorted. But my mate said it felt better just moving it around their yard.
