I have an early BN4 and my steering box needs some love. After sitting in a field for 40 years it’s got rust pitting on the lower races and turns like it’s full of gravel even after being completely cleaned and greased.
I think i need to replace it. AH Spares sells the replacement adjustable column/cam for $320 but they specify that it’s only for the late BN4 and later. What’s the difference with the actual column? Should I replace the entire steering box? Will a later box bolt right up? New ones are a fortune so I’ll probably try to gamble on a used one. I’m not confident that my local machine shop can remachine the race.
Anybody got a reasonable used one?
