Default Steering BOX

According to mt MOT man , a set of Dunlop Discs set up well are far better
than Girling.
My car on his MOT meter pulls up a far greater force than many moderd cars
he tests.
They are indentical to an early E type upon which they did not work as well.
Maybe something to do with the Lockheed master cylider and the large servo.
The 407 and 408 were indeed Marles, hense I think the factory change on mine
to a 409 box.

Nick.
