-2- The other difficulties could be overcome by moving the box back and lifting it at the same time. This would give a pendulum lever length of 9.250 ins. To maintain the same number of turns of the steering wheel as now the rocker arm would have to be increased to 1.475 ins. which would mean a new steering box. We do not think we should like to keep the present length of rocker arm and reduce the lead of the worm from .700 ins. to .610 ins. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
