Subject: Re: Play in Marles steering box
Dear Readers,
Please be aware of the dangers of misunderstandings here. From 1926 to around 1931/2 Lagonda fitted the "vintage" MARLES box which has a roller which can be adjusted to take up the play. From then until 1938 when the LG6 came out they fitted BISHOP CAM which uses brass shims to adjust them. This is what I have on my 16/80 and M45. I bow to superior knowledge that they then went back to MARLES for the LG6 and the V12 but it was a different design that I believe also uses shims to adjust it.
I followed up what happened to Marles boxes post war and they were the preferred choice for things like dump trucks when cars went over to rack and pinion.
Readers, feel free to correct me if I am wrong, or endorse my thought s if you think I am right.
Cheers Colin M34
