Subject: Re: LG6 Steering Box refurbishment
Further update: The cross-shaft supplied was different from the one on the car - the original is longer - but the supplier has very helpfully sent a disassembled roller and pin, to which the original cross-shaft can be mounted. We will return the roller/cross-shaft assembly first sent, along with some measurements of the original cross-shaft so they have them on record for the next person who needs these parts.
I have yet to source the gaiter that seals the steering column where it passes through the firewall. The Lagonda club doesn't have these. I am looking at alternatives that could be modified, and perhaps a gearshift gaiter is going to be the most likely candidate, but if anyone has suggestions, or pictures of their gaiter, original or otherwise, I'd be happy to hear/see them.
Regards, Mike
