Steering box rebuild

#1 Post by Ned Hamlin »

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.

Martin did one for me. It seems to be very well rebuilt but it is sitting on the shelf awaiting a need.

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

Is he "The Machine Shop"? Or is that a different outfit?

Thanks guys. I remember this being a topic a while ago, but I couldn't find it.

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.
