Thanks Henry, no rush at all.
Re: Fifteen steering box 1934
I know this doesn’t help Pete but in the context of this thread it’s useful to note that an improvement can gained for Bishopsgear boxes using this adaptor plate: http://www.vintagemgparts.com/bishop_cam.html

Ronald.
Indeed I saw this but the Marles Weller is a different animal. The Bishop cam boxes have a whole catalogue of their own problems, not least of which is potential fracture of the sector shaft arm, leading to catastrophic loss of steering and that may be as a result of "enthusiastic" adjustment to remove play by overtightening of the adjuster.
These are typical on the early MG cars, for which there are solutions but mainly by conversion.
Anyone with a Bishop type should definitely have the sector shaft crack tested.
The only common factor with the Marles is the same sort of worm is employed.
