[QUOTE="Mags, post: 548997, member: 13104"] I got the longer shaft from Simon and tried to fit again a couple of weeks ago (I was going down to Cornwall so really wanted to get the Pailton box on) but still no joy. I just couldn't get the box to bolt up in a position that allowed the inner steering column to move freely and line up the 2 bolts on the plate at the bottom of the outer column inside the cab. I dropped Simon a mail just to let him know but I think I'm going to try and make up a new bracket and maybe trim off the bottom of the chassis leg to allow me to get the box flush with the leg. Although I don't want to do this I also don't want to bodge the mounting having the risk of something failing. The old style box I have now is OK, it got me around the south west for the past couple of weeks without problems, its certainly no worse than a steering box. I'll try to get this done over the next few months. One thing I wanted to ask others is how do you find the steering lock? It seems terrible to me but I don't know if that's because I've had 5 years of not driving the bus or the Red9 conversion has less lock? Mags [/QUOTE]
