Hi Simon,

Why do you think you might need a new steering box? It should be possible
to rebuild the existing one unless there's an issue with the housing itself=

Yes Mirek is correct.
I  have a couple of versions.
 One end is 1/4" square and the other is 5/16" square however they don't
fit the early BN1 which requires a 7/16" square for the rear brake
adjustors.
