The box

[Ray McCrary]

Hi folks, I am working on a friends TC, and wonder where I can get his steering box machined and equipped with the needle bearings for the steering arm and modern oil seal, then reassembled properly. There is a Russian guy here in the US, but I don't remember his name or number. Send those phone numbers. Best, Ray McCrary "Speed is Life; of course Luck and Altitude are helpful, too."

Ray, I don't know if he still does it but Phil Marino did my steering box and does a very fine job. Call him (he's not into computers) and check. He is not the Russian fellow you mentioned, but very Italian. I only had him do the bearing and seal work but he use to do all the assembly and shimming if you wanted.
