I read somewhere, years ago, possible in Miscellany, that when the steering
becomes loose, taking out the peg, and giving it an almighty wallop on its
point with a large hammer would correct the situation, by widening the peg.
Has any one else heard of this, or tried it? When the steering on my '71 +8
loosened, I got a Gemma box, which works ok, except that it needs a hydraulic
steering stabilizer to deaden the shimmy-I use one designed for a VW van. I
still have the original box, however and one of these days may try the hammer
trick. Dave Collins, San Diego
