For sure you need the belleville washers, and correctly installed as well. You need 6 of them. They act as a spring in the steering box. I've seen a steering box that missed 3 of them, that didn't work well. 

AH Spares have them for £3,25 plus VAT.

  Unfortunately, I have no idea what the material, OD, ID, thickness, dish or flat load are; else I would order from McMaster or other, more reasonable, supplier.

      The Moss catalog calls for 6 'belleville' washers under the rocker shaft in the late BN, early BN4/6 steering box (Moss part# 725-115). Mine doesn't appear to have ever had them; anyone know if they're required? I'm guessing yes, because otherwise the rocker shaft looks like it rests on a rough surface but, they list for $12.79/ea, and if they're not necessary--or if anyone knows of a cheaper alternative--I'd prefer not to spend that much.


      TIA,


      Bob
