Installation notes
Fit with a thin layer of gasket sealant (not silicone RTV). Avoid over-tightening — cork must not be crushed. Tighten evenly across the fixing bolts. Note: bottom two bolts require copper crush washers.
Compatibility
ONLY for 7/8" sector shaft systems. Not suitable for M38/M38A1 (15/16" shaft) or late CJ-5 with V6 engine (also 15/16" shaft). For these larger systems, the gasket must be replaced with gasket sealant.
Historical context
The Ross cam & twin pin steering box was used from 1941 on the Willys MB and Ford GPW and remained in production until the 1960s for civilian CJ models. The 7/8" sector shaft system was standard for all four-cylinder models.
