Rebuild of GPW steering box hints and tips?

I done my steering gear yesterday, its a really easy job.

Take off the nsf wing and the whole steering box and column will slide out nicely. The box is quite straight forward to take apart. 4 bolts for the side cover, clamp and 3 bolts for the column shaft.

I had to reshim the column after all the new parts were fitted, but that's just a case of trial and error, adding and removing shims until the gear turns nicely.

Also, watch out when refitting it all! It was abit tighter to get back in for some reason, and I ended up catching the oil pressure gauge flexihose. I didn't notice, and it made a lovely mess of the driveway when I.started it up.
