Steering: Fellow Needs Help

[Studedude]

Got this question in email today. I don't know the answer, so I thought I'd pass the question on to those that might be able to help this gentleman.

His situation:

"I rebuild power and manual steering gears for mostly classic cars and trucks. I have a dilemma I am rebuilding a power steering gearbox for a customer with a 1953 Hawk.

When I opened the gear case I found the "worm block" on the worm gear was broken in two.

So I am searching for another block, or worm and block assy or a core that is usable. I am not sure if the Hawk used different gearboxes or different systems completely. Any help you provide would be appreciated. Thank you."

I know his car can't be a '53 Hawk... I am sending him a link to this post, but it might be helpful if you emailed him your response.

Thanks.

If he's in the PS rebuilding business and it's the early box, he should recognize if it is a Saginaw.

Anyway, we'd have to know what he's working with to give any aid and advice.

It might be his competitor, Dave, but he still needs to contact Lares Manufacturing: 1-800-888-3975.

They'll have it, and they'll know whatever it is he is talking about as to year and model. BP

Thanks, I passed that information on to Chip.
