Im pretty sure that the archives would be of a good help ( the address is
down the bottom of this email. The ratio may be a little better for a
quicker steer in response, but basically age and number is the reason behind
the swap. But be careful as a lot of 120Y boxes are shagged as well and it
also depends on your steering bpx set up, i was lucky enuff to get the spear
set up (sarcasm) but i scored a newish rebuilt box for my 510 :)
hope this helps a little.
