[Healeys] Steering Box Refirb.

[JSARCH]

The steering box for your Healey is the same as my BT7. The steering column housing is solder into the box. It can be removed but it is something you probably don’t want to do because it can be difficult to solder back on and get a complete seal. The reason I know this is a had the box and column powder coated and the powder coat melts about the same temperature as solder and I had to resolder the column with a higher temperature solder and have it powder coated again.

 

You need a long box to ship it. 😊 You should be able to find one, if not get a box and a tube for the column and assemble one.

I'm wanting to have my 1965 BJ8 steering box refurbed?

 

My mechanical prowess is the ability to unbolt something, send it out to have fixed, and bolting it back on.

 

Who's the guy who rebuilds Healey steering boxes?

 

Do I need to send the entire steering column(s)?

 

If not, Can I remove just the steering box from the car or does the whole column  need to come out?

 

If so, How the heck do I ship an entire steering column?

 

I live in Connecticut 40  minutes from NYC.
