I need to get a steering box for my '69 Camaro, any thoughts on the best place to get one?, I don't mind if it's a new or a good used one, cheers....Nige

Assuming yours is power, I should have a used power box.

Hi thanks for the quick reply

mines actually a manual, but would consider a power set up if I can get the pump etc for it. Could you PM me with what you've got? cheers....Nige

Nige you could try Malcolm/Paul at Spurr Classics,0114 2315000,i had a box off them for Roger a few years ago,they had a few camaro/firebird clips in a shed,Dave Eady would probably be worth a call aswell,Bry

If you convert to P/S make sure you get the matching pitman arm and steering joints as they differ.

Bumps....

It's terminal doctor!!!

I pulled the car out of the garage yesterday to take it for a run. Not had any probs with it as such up to that point. I need to make a 4 point turn to get it out of the garage into the rear lane to my house, in doing so it just "grunted" up with terrible grating, clunking noises when trying to turn the wheels. On inspection the shaft going into the box moves backwards & forwards (it shouldn't) & now the steering wheel takes 2 1/2 turns before the wheels move.(whilst still making terrible noises) Something's collapsed inside the box

. I'm just glad it happened at home rather than out on the road at high speed other wise I might be toast, as I was looking to put in some top speed runs on my local "test track"

, cheers....Nige
