Has anyone had any experience with "The Machine Shop" in Colorado with ZF steering box rebuild? My '
58 Speedster box is leaking profusely and I want to get it checked and refurbished correctly. Thanks for any insight.

Re: Steering box rebuild
Martin did one for me. It seems to be very well rebuilt but it is sitting on the shelf awaiting a need.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

That is Martin Willis. A first choice among those who know.

Re: Steering box rebuild
Is he "The Machine Shop"? Or is that a different outfit?

Re: Steering box rebuild
Martin is a great asset to 356 owners. He did repairs on my rear drums that saved them, and I trust his workmanship and integrity. He is the real deal.
