Hi Colin,
Following your comment I conclude that my 1931 3L has a
vintage Marles steering box with a roller. Do you adjust the
play in the same way as mentioned, or is it different?Fred
Hi David,
This the information will help a lot. As far as I can see I have the
same steering box as in the article.I thank all forum members for their help. I am now aware that
a hard job is waiting for me next winter.Fred
I like all the information I got from you and I think to know what
I’ll have to do.
But for further discussion : I found on my Marles box the number
L3/18818.
I Googled this number but no effective result. I am sure that
one of you knows all specifications off this box.Fred
Hi Laurence, Hi Bill,
Thanks for your information and suggestions.
I think I’ll try to get some manuels first.
I won’t spoil my wife’s sissors as there are already of poor
quality and I have better ones in my garage.Anyway I’ll have something to do this winter.
Fred.
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the address. I might give them a caal. But as I live in
Holland and as I see it as a project for next winter, because I
love working on cars I prefer to do it by myself.
I hope to receive some comments about the best way to do it
in order to avoid damage on a rare steering box.
Fred.Hi Colin,
It is a Marles one. Do you know how I can get it off?
What do I have to start with, the part with the trottle and
ingniton levers, or do I have to do the steering column first?
I know the club supplies new parts. I am just afraid to
damage the steering box.Regards, Fred.
Hi Colin,
Thanks for your reply.
It is for my 3L LC. There is some play in the rocker shaft and I
loose some oil. As I cannot remove the drop arm withour a press
I was planning to arrange the shimms on the back of the house.
Of course I shall have to skip the fitting of an oil seal. Do you
think this can be done with the steering box in place?
And how do I get shimms for the proper adjustment?
Regards, Fred Spee S.33
