Hi Dex,

Re steering box, a good person to contact would be Calum Barrow. I contacted him with a view to refurbishing my 12 Tourer box last year and he clearly knew all about P1/P2/P3 worm and nut steering and has huge experience with Series 1 Land Rovers. As it turned out i didn't get around to taking the box out of my car, but I think I will this coming winter and Calum will be my first port of call. He is an RSR member and his email address is cbarrowengineering@gmail.com

For king pins, i'd suggest contacting Mike Evans or Mike Cauldry (Meteor Spares). You will need to source a reamer to fit them.

Good luck with the car.

Tony.
