Properly-reconned prototype bay steering box...

...on bus-uk.de. Eye-wateringly expensive at 1400 euros, but if you need one, you need one.

Might be of use to some of the early folk. Bus-uk normally worth a look, as they have a lot of pretty obscure stuff.

Buck up Snotty, 1400 euros includes the 500 refundable deposit.
I thought you could read Deutsche.

Got in himmel!
That is neither German nor English!

 

It's English if you tap on the tiny map at the top of the page and change it to English . I presume the 500 euro will be pending return of your old unit .

 

The 500 euros is in addition to the price, until you send your old box in.

 

My apologies Snotty, you are right.

I just filled mine with grease

 

What’s the going rate for a good late ‘box? I’ve got one to sell.

 

How does that work ?

 

Few hundred if it’s in genuinely good shape, I’d say.

 

If it's surplus ok, but I've kept one for a spare and won't sell.

 

for an early speak to graham at Midlandearlybay he has new worm and pegs made

 

He just had a quick gander is all

 

FWIW I sold a used/good early RHD box about 18 months ago
(to "martymcfly"? ... so could have been any time really)
for £250

 

Rebushed mine with a Dremel, pressed in a new steel/bronze/PTFE bushing in the cover plate.

About a tenner for parts and a loooong nerve wracking afternoon..


Been great ever since.

Passed three MOTs. And the PTFE is slightly springy so I can overdo the adjuster slightly.
