Reversed Corvair steering box

[dmw56]

Reversed the corvair steering box I bought at the last swap meet. These are nice light compact boxes. But for a traditional steering the the input shaft needs to be reversed.

I didn't take pictures but you just disassemble the box. Drill a hole a little larger than the shaft in the screw in plug. Install the seal from the inside. Than plug the original hole.
Then reassemble the box.

Should work good on a Model A, T or other small vehicle.

I've never done one, just read about it.

This is the first time I've done it. I've owned one and watched YouTube videos.
It was super simple and all the parts to rebuild a box are available. The only hard part is finding a Corvair box!

Where did you source the core plug and seal? I have an iron Corvair box to do. Been years since I sis one.
