Thanks Matt and Kerry,
I will have to take a closer look at the worm gear. It may be worn in the middle, judging from your comments. I would love to have a copy of the article. You have my email address I'm sure. Thanks so much.

John Tarr, Thanks for your comment, but let me ask the question in a different way... For the center position, i.e., the wheels pointing straight, the pin should be in the mid point of the worm gear.

Steering Box Overhaul
Has anyone rebuilt a 50's or 60's steering box? Does the worm gear have a center position? If so, is it marked? If not how does one find it?
In other words, when the wheels are pointing straight forward, does the worm gear need to be is a certain position?
Thanks.

Yale, Use the "diamond" rubber Ferrari and Maserati used in the 50's in their race cars' interiors and sometimes in the trunks of the road cars. It is not that expensive. Restoration Supply Co in Reno, Nevada caries it so do a number of other upholstery suppliers. Here is a picture. http://www.ferra...

In contrast to the Lusso, my '59 250 GT has 1-6 on one cap and 7-12 on the other. The numbers are in firing order of the bank and they look pretty official. The caps are old original bakelite and each number has a clear veneer of celluloid over it for protection from solvent fluids. I don't know whi...
