Good Morning Bolters,

I went ahead and took the cover off my steering box. I found a fair amount of farm gook in there. I cleanred it all out and am about to put it all back together. Can anyone identify a source for a gasket between the cover and box ? I imagine I could make one if I have to but I thought I would float the need. I did not need a rebuild, but I guess there is a gasket in the kits they sell.

Best, stay cool,

Joe

Silicone works well there, without a gasket.

That made me laugh. Message received. I will eat a box of corn flakes in your honor this week and put the box back together. Who needs Fel-pro ? Thanks - Joe
