one is used to adjust the play. the other is used to fill it full of fluid or grease.

what is the purpose of the two capped openings on top of a steering box and where can I get replacement caps or can I just use a grommet. my luck, a pebble gets in my tire and gets shot into the hole and my steering locks up in the middle of a turn at sixty. |

I think he talking about the newer box .. there are two plugs ... funny I was looking on the Samba for the same thing. they are filler / vent holes I think. Some of the anwsers were to just go to the local auto parts and find plugs... Let me know when you find some. I need them too.

Great to meet you too. I just hope to learn more and more from others on the board. Soon I will be at the point to start assembly. (i can only take so much off. Hope to have the spindles on the frame and front end this Friday. I was going to do some research on youtube for a video on dropping the rear in case I get that adventurous this weekend. Thanks for all of the advise!! |

I was thinking about using a plug similar to this since the openings in the top of the steering box are just vents. Like I said in the original post, I just don't want something to get into these holes.

OOH... nice.. I always wanted to drill two very small holes on each side of the engine compartment.. measured up and positioned perfectly for a long thin flat head to adjust dual carbs from under the fender well.. could use these plugs to seal up the holes when not in use.. I think this is a great idea.. if I do say so myself!!
