[Healeys] BN1 Steering Box Overhaul

 Thanks to everyone who responded to my question re; BN1 steering box overhaul.  In my research, I came to find that the steering box in the early post war A40 sedan is not the same as the BN1 box. Nonetheless, the basic principal is the same and overhauling one of these boxes is essentially the same,  So, thanks to all who offered insights into this matter.

 I have installed the Facet pump on two of my positive ground cars.  If you buy the model Moss sells, all you have to do is attach the red wire to ground and the black wire to the hot connection point.  Works like a charm.  You may also want to use a rubber buffer between the pump and the car body or frame.  That will help isolate the rattle that happens when the pump is working.

 Among the cars in my stable are some post war Austin sedans, Austin A40 Devon and Dorset. I understand these cars use the same steering box as the early Healey BN1. Can anyone recommend a shop that can rebuild such a steering box. I'm aware of the Dennis Welch reproduction box, but I'm interested in a rebuild service.

Thanks in advance.

Fellow Listers,
Can a Facet solid state fuel pump such as Model 40102 be used on a 
positively ground car?
Thanks,
Elton

Not sure why you want to go that way. Normally these things last forever if you clean the contacts occasionally. If it has been wet or if a coil is fried all bets are off.

Thanks to everyone who advised me where to get the top cover. All good info. 
I spoke with Bob at Autofarm and ordered one from him. This now guarantees 
it will never rain when I'm out in the Healey.

Bill, Michael Salter, Technical Chairman of the Big Healey Concours Guidelines is very familiar with the early 100 steering boxes. He should be able to help.

Hi Bill, keep in mind that the sedans had the opposite hand steering box.

...you might want to be aware Bill that the sedan steering box works in reverse to the Healey because of the position of the track/tie rods. ie a RHD sedan steering box is effectively a LHD Healey steering box. I know as I used an A70 box in a car I built, and had to change over the worm in the box.

Cheers

Bill, Michael Salter, Technical Chairman of the Big Healey Concours Guidelines is very familiar with the early 100 steering boxes. He should be able to help.

  Among the cars in my stable are some post war Austin sedans, Austin A40 Devon and Dorset. I understand these cars use the same steering box as the early Healey BN1. Can anyone recommend a shop that can rebuild such a steering box. I'm aware of the Dennis Welch reproduction box, but I'm interested in a rebuild service.

  Thanks in advance.

  Fellow Listers,
  Can a Facet solid state fuel pump such as Model 40102 be used on a

  Thanks,

  Not sure why you want to go that way. Normally these things last forever if you clean the contacts occasionally. If it has been wet or if a coil is fried all bets are off.

  Thanks to everyone who advised me where to get the top cover. All good info. 
  I spoke with Bob at Autofarm and ordered one from him. This now guarantees 
  it will never rain when I'm out in the Healey.

A belated thanks for all the replies. One thing I'd never have looked for is
the switch with which some people seem to have replaced the brake pressure
switch. I'd never heard of these things. 

Anyhow, I'll have a look at all the usual things when I get over there. If I
can't find the cause and fix it, I'll be bringing the car over to the UK
anyhow and will be altogether better placed to work on the car.

Bill??? I rebuilt three steering boxes this way for BN-1/BN-2s. The pinion shaft has two bearing diameters and the aluminum case is the female bearing for both diameters. The top of the case is bored to the larger diameter and the lower portion is the smaller diameter. There is side load on the shaft so the case tends to wear egg shaped. A lot of the slop in your steering box is wear in the case. Drop your shaft into the case and see if there is any play. I am going to describe the process in general terms because I did this some time ago and don't remember exact dimensions but it was easy to figure out what was needed. I have access to a milling machine but it is a fairly simple machine shop job so you should be able to find a shop near you who can do the work.?? In the McMaster Carr catalog they have bronze bushings. They come in various inside diameters and wall thickness and outside diameters. Pick two that fit the two inside diameters needed to fit the shaft, then select
  a wall 
 thickness that will give you a constant outside diameter. Next comes the machine work. I can't find a picture of this, sorry. The case is put on the mill using the top machined surface as datum ( Top down, snout up ) and the shaft center is indicated. Then the case is bored to an interference fit to the OD of the bronze bushings. While you have this setup make the bore for the lip seal about 3/16th deeper so the lip seal rides on a clean part of the shaft and you can use a two lip seal stack. Then the bushings are pressed in and viola your case is better than when it left the factory. I think you can still get new pin followers and the pin to worm clearance is adjustable so you can split the difference between loose in the center and tight on full lock.?? This probably sounds more complicated than it really is. A good machinist will totally get it. You can message me for a phone number if you or your machinist want to talk. 
Hope this is useful information.RegardsRay Juncal

Another way of fixing the oval case on the early boxes is to ream the
housing back to round and then have the shaft metal sprayed bigger and
machined to the right clearance. This will correct both the wear in
the housing and the wear on the shaft at the same time.
