Hello Packard friends,
I am seaching for RHD (right hand drive)steering box for my 1934 Packard. I specifically need the pitnam shaft & gear and sector gear shaft. Maybe someone knows who might have parts?
Thank you for any help Roberto 650-219-8305

Hi Roberto,

I noticed your similar post on the Wades Workshop blog. I am in Sydney and was looking for the same thing myself. I have now decided to adapt something different but can tell you that I wasn't able to locate any RHD steering boxes here in Australia when I was looking. All the very best in your search though.

Cheers

Hello,
I did find a LHD hoping it would work however the wrom gear does go the other way. The worst thing is having a restored Packard with sloppy steering. If don't mind me asking what did you come with on your car for the steering.
Roberto...

I plan to adapt something else entirely, since my car didn't come with steering wheel, column or box AND it will be RHD then there is no real issues here. Adaption of another steering box in your case would require fabrication or other changes to the chassis and re-jigging of the steering column at least.

I am surprised that a rebuild kit including the worn componants is not readily available...
