Tony - can you remember how the BM136 Control Bracket Tube is actually secured at/in the bottom?
Can't make it out from Woodrow.
I think it was a tight push fit in the brass 'bottom thrust bush' or 'Bracket'. On the original assembly the tube was broken off at the bracket but I found another bracket without a tube and pushed the replacement tube home without soldering. Working well so far (five years )

I used a socket on the large brass nut at the bottom of the steering box expecting it to be screwed into the aluminium however the nut and stator tube turned. It seems that the nut is screwed into the brass 'thrust' washer inside the steering box and I couldn't find a way of holding it. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

A simple way to hold the brass 'washer' is to screw the steering column down on to it - thus locking the worm onto the thrust face of the brass 'washer' as Dave suggests, then unscrew the nut. (after drilling out the centre pops)
