1936 Opal Steering box adjustment.
#2
There are plenty of options for adjustment on the worm and sector box, in addition to shims and I remember as a skint youth running out of adjustment on my 36 Ruby and resorting to grinding paste to try and improve things and it made things worse with accurate steering in the straight ahead position and stiffness when turning corners...I tried to rectify the problem by easing the two ends of the worm and sector with grinding paste and in the end I gave up and went down to the local scrappy and bought a new steering box and column...it cost me a whopping two quid at the time!

But in answer to your question, I think it’s perfectly possible, if the job is approached methodically, not as I approached as a spotty teenager.
