Hi gang, I have a 1957 100/6 BN4 and recently rebuilt the trafficator and
replaced it into the steering cloumn. My problem is re-installing the olive
on the stator tube at the other end of the steering column. Is the stator
tube supposed to stick out of the end plate nipple just a litte, so that I can
insert the olive onto it?? It does not on mine.
I installed the olive into the nipple hole (that the stator tube was not
sticking out of) then installed and tightened the nut...... and munched/crushed
the olive. Had to buy a new one.
I was told that I need to install the olive onto the end of the stator tube.
I cannot seem to get the stator tube to protrude out the end of the end plate
nipple. Any suggestions or what might I be doing wrong. And YES my
steering box oil just pours out.
Thanks for any input.
