If you get stuck I have a spare steering box that has a knackered output seal, i think the input is ok.
Ive just changed the complete box for one pinched off an xj..

I'm not sure how the seal comes out but i can have a look tomorrow or you can have the whole box and take the seal out yourself..

The problem is I am a good 3hr drive from you.. :shock:

thanks for that i got out already without removing the box and had a tray ready to catch the pas fluid. The seal looks to be in good shape no splits or damage, found a few places in the states but they won't post over here :-(  quadratec don't keep it.May try my local jeep dealer in the morning and prepare for some arse ache.

You could ask quadratec if they would forward the item from another supplier in the US. Kevin's offroad offer this service for items that he can't do himself.
They'll obviously want a service charge if you're not buying anything else at the same time but it may still be cheaper.
