[Healeys] big Healey new steering box

[Bob Spidell]

I've only had the one contact with him so I really couldn't say; their 
support people were helpful. I've been happy with the products from 
them--steering box included--cam, pistons, valves, etc.

Side note: On one of the 'Wheeler Dealers' episodes Mike went to the 
Omega piston factory (I have them in my BJ8). I expected a modern 
factory; they're in what I'd call an 'Old English workshop.'
