I had one for a time and from what I recall the steering box was of a type similar to that on an SS or SZ i.e without a column. From a flange just behind the box there was a short length of steering shaft connected by two Fabri joints to an even shorter shaft connected in an upwards direction to an abbreviated shaft within the column enclosure. I seem to think that there were two bearings in the column top and bottom. In this way there was a shallow "v" in the line of the shaft which allowed it to run under the carburettors.
