2wd Sector Shaft for Variable Ratio Box

[LNielson]

I'm looking for a 2wd sector shaft for a variable ratio box. Let me know what you have.

Thanks,

How do you tell 2-wd variable from non-variable 2-wd sector shaft? I was told the one I have is variable. It's the top one in the pic.

Sector Shaft Differences


I found this picture in another thread on here. The constant ratio sector shaft has 3 identical teeth, the variable sector shaft has one larger tooth.

FWIW most steering boxes are variable ratio (at least everyone i've tore apart to drill and tap for hydro assist have been).

Well, it looks like mine is constant ratio. Can't help you this time.

I believe the older ones 70's vintage would be non variable.
