rr HIS week's prizewinner is Mr. S. A.
Toase, of Bilton, Harrogate, Yorks. His idea concerns the removal and refitting of the steering box on a Commer CD762. Mr. Toase points out that when removing the nut which is positioned in the corner of the chassis it is less difficult if a + in. hole is drilled If in. from the front spring hanger and 31 in. from the outside of the chassis. A socket can then be placed on the nut and a 1 in. square drive extension placed through the f in. hole and'on to the socket. By using this method the box can be made much more secure.
Comments Handyman: I have heard a great deal of bad language over the removal and fitting of this box, and I see no reason why this idea should not improve matters. Normally I am not keen on drilling additional holes in a chasis, but this is a safe area.
