The late, lamented, Norman Nock's shop Britist Car Specialists has this item listed on their web-page:
"Want to improve your Healey's Steering ?
New torrington bearing will improve your steering. Give David a call for more information."it's like power steering at slow speeds" "
Has anyone made the call? anyone know what this entails?
thanks,
Doug
 
Just ran across the following at the AH Spares web-site
https://www.ahspares.co.uk/products/productdetail.aspx?GUID=SUF125


SUF125
Product Name: TOP TRUNNION BEARING KIT-PAIR
Application: BN1-BJ8
Your Price (Exc VAT): ÂŁ27.95
Description: REPLACES THRUST WASHER
Qty Per Vehicle: 1

Additional Notes
This amazing little invention replaces the bronze thrust washers in the top trunnions to reduce friction and give an almost power steering feel to your car without any major alterations to your vehicle. Makes the heavy manoeuvring of your Healey a thing of the past. Very high quality and not to be compared with cheaper alternatives available on the market.

Well, I'm an idiot - I'd even been reading that thread! Bob - thanks for the cross-reference direction.
Thanks!
