Tried that, didn't do much to remove the slop in steering wheel.

How big a deal is it to replace a worn out steering box on my '46? Where do I get a replacement? Can they be rebuilt and if so, by whom?

No, you can hear the electric duel pump running anytime the switch is on but the motor has not been started.

I love driving my '46 Tudor sedan, but the old girl left me on the side of the road last week. I was coasting down a small hill in third and when I tried to apply a little gas....nothing. I switched off the ignition and she immediately died. First thing I did was ensure there was plenty of gas...

The speedometer in my '46 tudor works fine but the lens is broken. I purchased a new lens aftermarket but it was of such poor quality I returned it. Can anyone recommend an instrument restorer I can send this to for professional repair?

Thanks for the tip. I understand what you are saying but never heard of the term MT before. Must be a kiwi thing. Again, thanks.
