Wise ones,
I have a 'color correctness' question for the list. My car is a Mk1 
BN7. What color(s) should the steering box and steering idler units be?
I notice that the 'body' of the steering box is cast iron, while the 
top cover is aluminum (non magnetic). Meanwhile, just to make things 
interesting - the body of the idler unit is cast aluminum (I think, as 
it is non magnetic) and the top cover is metal !
I believe the body of the steering unit should be black with the top 
cover aluminum or silver color(? need confirmation), but not sure about 
the idler assy color's.

Also, I am in need of a steering unit spacer bracket (spider) part 
number 1B6195 (I believe). I find none available from the usual 
suspects. Anyone have a lead on where to get one of these, or would 
like to sell a good used one?

Thanks for any info

 Dave
  61 BN7
