[QUOTE="Mags, post: 560664, member: 13104"] I finally managed to get the new bevel box fitted over xmas, I had tried a couple of times before but it didn't sit right and caused the column to bind on the plastic insulator at the bottom of the outer column. I had to trim down the mounting plate that Simon supplies with the bevel box and trim a very small amount on the bottom flange of my chassis rail and relieve a bump on the chassis rail as well and it just about fits now with no problem. The inner column is turning freely now but it's still very close even with the lower column mounting pushed as far forward as I can in the cab. Anyway, the difference is night and day, lovely precise steering, no slop and actually feels a little lighter to steer than previously as I'm guessing the bevel gears are larger? Not easy to see what I had to trim but here a shot anyway.

They must be totally s*** quality parts. [/QUOTE]
