FWIW, I just installed a DWM 'uprated' box--std. ratio--in my BJ8 that I 
bought several years ago. It reduced the play (slop) on the steering 
wheel before engagement from roughly 1&1/4" to about 1/4" (not much 
worse than the R&Ps on my other cars). It took some getting used to, 
since with a Healey that tracks true you don't have to do a lot of fine 
correction; i.e. it's not a nuisance.  It gradually tightens near full 
left lock, but on turning to full right lock it binds with about an inch 
or so of wheel turn remaining, then 'pops' free. Not what I expected, 
but I can live with it. I'd heard of issues from another owner, and 
contacted DWM cust. serv. after I bought it and got a call from an 
indignant--is there any other kind of Brit ;)--Jeremy Welch, who 
basically said he wanted to 'stop the nonsense.' According to Jeremy, 
you wouldn't notice these, uh, 'quirks' because stops in the steering 
mechanism--I'm not sure what he was referring to, the steering arms 
maybe--would prevent a driver from encountering them. But they're there. 
Also, the splines on the shaft aren't machined correctly; my adjustable 
steering wheel--an aftermarket Derrington-style with a Moto Lita, I 
think, hub--slid easily on the OEM shaft but had to be, um, 'encouraged' 
to go on the DWM shaft so it's not (easily) adjustable any more (which 
is OK since I always drive with the wheel full forward). The DWM outer 
sleeve had a bunch of what looked like tool marks on it; made me wonder 
if it wasn't salvaged.

I'd held off installing it because it's a PITA job on a BJ8, but 
eventually my old box started leaking more than I can tolerate (yes, I 
tried Cornhead Grease). Plus, I installed a rebuilt trafficator that I'd 
bought a couple years ago; now it cancels crisply in both directions 
(for now). From what I've seen, installing R&P on a Healey is a major 
task, welding required IIRC, and I've not seen any 'plug and play' kits.

    FWIW, I just installed a DWM 'uprated' box--std. ratio--in my BJ8
    that I bought several years ago. It reduced the play (slop) on the
    steering wheel before engagement from roughly 1&amp;1/4" to about
    1/4" (not much worse than the R&amp;Ps on my other cars). It took
    some getting used to, since with a Healey that tracks true you don't
    have to do a lot of fine correction; i.e. it's not a nuisance.  It
    gradually tightens near full left lock, but on turning to full right
    lock it binds with about an inch or so of wheel turn remaining, then
    'pops' free. Not what I expected, but I can live with it. I'd heard
    of issues from another owner, and contacted DWM cust. serv. after I
    bought it and got a call from an indignant--is there any other kind
    of Brit ;)--Jeremy Welch, who basically said he wanted to 'stop the
    nonsense.' According to Jeremy, you wouldn't notice these, uh,
    'quirks' because stops in the steering mechanism--I'm not sure what
    he was referring to, the steering arms maybe--would prevent a driver
    from encountering them. But they're there. Also, the splines on the
    shaft aren't machined correctly; my adjustable steering wheel--an
    aftermarket Derrington-style with a Moto Lita, I think, hub--slid
    easily on the OEM shaft but had to be, um, 'encouraged' to go on the
    DWM shaft so it's not (easily) adjustable any more (which is OK
    since I always drive with the wheel full forward). The DWM outer
    sleeve had a bunch of what looked like tool marks on it; made me
    wonder if it wasn't salvaged. <br>
    <br>
    I'd held off installing it because it's a PITA job on a BJ8, but
    eventually my old box started leaking more than I can tolerate (yes,
    I tried Cornhead Grease). Plus, I installed a rebuilt trafficator
    that I'd bought a couple years ago; now it cancels crisply in both
    directions (for now). From what I've seen, installing R&amp;P on a
    Healey is a major task, welding required IIRC, and I've not seen any
    'plug and play' kits. <br>

              AH Spares and I believe Denis Welch offer an upgraded box
              that is promised to be nearly as precise as rack and
              pinion, with a choice of ratios. Also available is
              a jointed “safety shaft” which seems nice provided the
              horn still works from the steering wheel center (a toggle
              switch a la Sprite on the dash would have to do for the
              turn signals with a jointed shaft). <br>

Back to the title of this string, I had a very positive experience with
this outfit:  https://www.classiccarperformance.com/, the umbrella company
which will show up if you search under "BritishStarters.com".  I needed a
part for my gear reduction starter I had bought from then many years ago
and got an immediate reply from the owner of the company with the part
arriving a few days later--all free.  I'm not saying they are giving away
their product but they definitely have good customer support. which in turn
deserves our support.

Best--Michael Oritt

    Rebuild is doable by a decent shadetree mechanic; hard part is
    getting the whole shaft in and out--a little easier on the
