Hi Group,
Not that old chestnut again I hear you cry!!!
On a slightly different slant, does anyone know the part number of the Torrington washer that goes under the cover in the steering box?
Thanks in advance

The Bishop Cam Box does not have a Torrington bearing fitted under
the cover.
You probably have a "Thomkins Kit" fitted.
Various people make these kits, and you may therefore find various
sizes of Torrington needle roller thrust bearings.
You can get the information you need via

Hi all,
Walter has just added to the technology section of the mg-tabc web site, servicing instruction sheets for the Bishop Cam steering box, which I had in my files. Because of the recent number of comments regarding the BC steering box I thought they may be of interest to all.I still use a completely standard steering box in my special. I have a hardened top plate to minimise wear on the plate, but I am not sure if this is so in a standard box, as it was already fitted to the box when I obtained it. The steering is more precise than the Datsun box in my standard TC. It is more rigidly mounted than the standard mount which probably helps.
