Hi Clive That make sense, it would be logical to be struck off census before being sold. The original cost of 13RE80 was £273 and 13 Shillings Cheers Richard -

Hi Danny With the clamp bolt slacked off you should be able to rotate the steering cover sleeve without the main shaft turning. With the woodruff key removed you should be able to pull the steering cover sleeve off. I suspect that the top end of your shaft has become rusted and thus is a very tight fit so you could use a soft ended hammer and tap the main shaft whilst holding the outer sleeve (also apply some penetrating oil on the shaft which will also help). I would recommend that you extract and clean and grease the bearing. The outer sleeve is designed to move up and down a bit so that the steering wheel can be snugly fitted. The alternative is that you pull off the rubber yoke (Item 94) which is clamped to the inside of the bulkhead, on mine it was split to aid easy removal (looking at your photo, I think yours is also split), the old gaiter can then be removed, as the diameter of the steering wheel end is greater than the main column use some washing on the new gaiter so the it can be eased over the steering wheel end. Hope this all make sense, next week end when I get access to my spare steering box I will send you some additional photos. Cheers Richard -
Hi Been searching through my in-service photos, the best I can come up with is this Jerry can holder ? Also just noticed, the dexion racking is quite different Cheers Richard

Hi - Not to hand, will post one later in the week, but this is the type I have (never seen one with legs on before) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195905929538 Cheers Richard

Hi - don't know if it was fitted when in service (spent all its service life in Northern Ireland), when I restored it, there were 'witness marks' to show that a bracket had been fitted there at some point. The jerry can holder mounting holes align perfectly with the holes in the 'rear bulkhead' so that is why I fitted one. Cheers Richard

Hi I have one of these in my Rover8... Also can't find the part number in any of mine either, but the clamping bracket that holds the Jerry can in place does have a part number 333464 see https://www.seriesparts.co.uk/PartDetail?stockid=287 I use it for water as I have a slight leak in my radiator Cheers Richard
