Find a friend with a TR-3 repair manual.  Same old worm and peg,  
better instructions.  The peg and the worm gear both wear, and  
eventually the peg just plain gets sloppy.  When you tighten the  
adjuster bolt, you are crushing the peg down into the bottom of the  
channel, but because the sides are worn, you just won't get a good  
fit.  You might talk to Bill Close in Phoenix (b_close at hotmail.com).   
He makes a kit which adapts a Spitfire rack and pinion to a TR-3 for  
better steering (way better!).  It might work with an A-40.
