The steering box seems to be bad. I cannot find a replacement or rebuild kit from any of the usual suspects (AB, BP, RN) Anyone have advice, a source, or an old-style steering box?

Yup, this is a common situation: the series 3 box is available and will fit, but the older banjo steering wheel will need a custom adaptor in order to fit onto the newer steering shaft: a competent machine shop can make one. When will we see some photos of the 2a? Art's got some of mine on his site.

Up to now I have been putting my $ into the Disco (Suspension, Tires, & CDL - '02 disco required new t-case housing to fit CDL) But now that I am mostly happy with the Disco it is time to get serious about the Series. Priorities in order Steering, Suspension, Paint, Interior... then maybe a Turner engine like you have. I will probably be willing to post some before and after shots after the paint! I'll e-mail you some before shots. Oh, and Marilyn is great, thanks for asking. Hello to Micah. cheers, Ted   David Woo (Davidwoo) New Member Username: Davidwoo Post Number: 29 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 12:29 pm:    Ted: just got the new RN series catalog in the mail: page 30 says that they now have 2a steering boxes as well as series 3: quite spendy, but available.
