1940 steering box housing end plate

[fortyman]

The tube on my housing end plate is broken. Can it be repaired or where can I find another.

I've got two extras at home, will post photos later to verify they are correct. Came with some other parts. Maybe yours can be repaired also, others will chime in I'm sure.

One method of repair would involve silver soldering the tube back to the end plate.

This is the method I have used...

Here's some pics of steering box end plate and tube. My 39 pickup had a brass tube attached to plate and I did have to repair it because it was cracked at plate. The extras I have are different with a steel tube and seem to be smaller in diameter than the brass one if my memory is correct. Hope someone can confirm a change occurred when the horn rod was eliminated as the extras were with a steering box marked 41 Mercury.

That is what I need. How can I go about getting from you?
