[Healeys] Steering box shims and adjustment

[Robert Blair]

Just need to find a spanner to unlock the lock nut, and then tighten the
adjustor screw clockwise until "tightish", and then back off 1/4 turn - check
the steering wheel play, and repeat. If it sticks on left or right, back off
another 1/4 turn.  Drive and repeat.

Did mine a few weeks back.  A worn worm is permanent, but the peg adjustment
can take up some of it.
