RE: [T3] Steering box


Hi Herman, 

Having owned a T1 Ghia (two actually) in the past I know that the notches
you are refering to are for the different body styles of the T1's.  Using
the different notches gives you a different steering box angle in relation
to the front axel.  So as you suspect the 31/34 DO NOT refer to the T3's,
(IIRC the 34 is for the angle necessary for a T1 Ghia).  I checked the
Bentley, there is a reference which says to use notch 31, (at least for the
Fasty, and the Square), (see chapter 7 page 33 upper right paragraph).  Good
Luck!!
