Steering coming along
Got the rusted out steel tube outta the steering box by heating the aluminum with a heat gun, and the broken steering box had a better tube with no rust. I stripped the paint with Rustoleum aircraft paint stripper. I made a bushing for the end which will have a bronze bushing inside it. I won't make a seal just grease it really good. With the new everything this should have way less steering wheel slack and should turn easier. I wonder how much a difference that "ez steer" thrust bearing on the steering box will make?
