I am back working on the 7 this weekend, and have started to strip down the steering box. As expected, it has been severely bodged during a hard life!

Is it worth trying to save? The steering is very notchy, and so far all I have done is try to clean it up to inspect, but the profile of the worm gear looks somewhat worn. Is this normal? If it were slightly worn, I would use some grinding paste to machine the surfaces.

The brass is badly damaged in places and has been drilled with the housing tapped to provide additional sealing, I suspect

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance, as always!!
