[ihc] Power Steering (again)

[David Bongo <dbongo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got more questions, and a few answers, for my Power Steering
predicament.  My truck is a '74 RHD Scout II.

I'm currently using a LHD P/S gearbox mounted to the inside of the frame
rail.  Upon further inspection (confirmed by both me and my mechanic,
Terry) it has been determined that the gearbox is moving when turning
the wheel.  The output shaft is moving side-to-side as it rotates.  The
input shaft seems to be doing it, too.  It LOOKS like the box is
flexing, but since the box is a casting, that seems unlikely.  However,
the box does NOT sit on the frame rail, it is elevated slightly.  We're
thinking that we should get something to mount up underneath the box so
it IS sitting on something.

I fear I need a new gearbox.  And the noise/vibration I'm hearing is
probably the gears in the box grinding, so that seems like a good move. 
Upon further discussion Terry, it seems as if a Straight Steer brace
would be a good move.  From what I understand, Fleckster sells the best
one of those, but since his seems to mount inside the frame rail (like
the box does) would it interfere with my steering setup?

So, what is the best way to go about fixing this?  I've had no luck
tracking down the mythic Travellall box, so that's not exactly looking
good.  Any ideas/suggestions/etc.?  I'm working to track down a stock
RHD gearbox, but I hate to put manual steering in, especially with what
I do.  A sentiment echoed by Terry.  It's kind of a last resort type of
solution, but one that's not totally off the table.

Any help/suggestions/moral support would be greatly appreciated.
