hhmmmm....that ZE number is nearly exactly the same as mine.......only thing is mine has a '2' at the end after the 5510..so it reads.....8129955102......does the stamped number have 2 separate panels....cos in the 2nd panel mine reads 8/68, DOM i think......

have you cleaned the plate completely?.......maybe the F could be an E....considering the 2 was missed on the other part number.....

reckon we're close......DAMN CLOSE!!!

aahhh gooodd...........reckon the '170' is the og build date, Jan 1970.....the ZE is sequential by the looks.........so it looks to me like they are the same box......www.thesamba.com have rebuilt 68-72 boxes (LHD) for US$625.....email me with what you reckon is a fair price for this one......i'm not going to be stupid about it.........

crikey. at this point then, i've got to look at the cheaper option of an overhaul.
i got this reply from a company in sydney.

Hi Charlie,

We could look at overhauling your old steering box (case hardening permitting) – last cost approx $275 incl. GST.

Regards,

Rohan

i'll email him again and see what the crack is before i dismiss yours tho.

dont sell it on just yet. thanks for your efforts for now.

rOOster.
