Hi group,
A question if I may... perhaps a stupid question... I have a TR3 with a
split steering column which is non-adjustable. The steering box has a filler
plug in the top of the box. The steering column also has a steering box
filler right below the area where the column splits. The question is why two
filler spots? Is it because the filler plug on the top of the steering box
is hard to reach with the front apron on the car? If that is the reason then
how do you know when the box is full of oil if you use the upper filler
(where the column splits)? If you were to fill the box and the column up to
the bottom of the upper filler plug the box would be "overfilled" and
seemingly the extra oil in the column would put pressure on all the seals in
the box. Am I missing something in my understanding? Does the upper filler
serve some other purpose? Does anyone know the answer?
Thanks for your help...
Mike Denman
