Dear Assembled Triumph Intelligensia,

I have started to rebuild steering box in my 1960 TR3A.  I have 
inspected the inner column and cam with a 10x hand lens and I can see 
mild impresssions where the drop arm peg engages the worm gear cam 
when the steering is in the "straight ahead" position.   Other than 
that, there appears to be minimal wear.  Can anyone tell me if this 
is normal and acceptable or if I should have the worm gear replaced 
as well.  Can anyone describe what "bad" wear looks like?

Bob
TR3A, TS74379L
