Glad to see the correction.

YES: you can adjust it in car. Sometimes it makes a difference. It just adusts the gear lash or something. It is not a "fix", but can improve the steering somewhat.

YES: Adjusting the gearbox lash won't help if other parts of the gearbox are worn out.

I've always adjusted my 1200s, and it has taken some of the play out of the steering wheel. However, after a while the play returns. After a few adjustments it no longer helps. That is probably where the majority of B110s are now (too far worn) although with low-mileage cars like it may still help.

Since new gearboxes are not available (neither are rebuild kits), I think the best solution will be to convert to rack-and-pinion. Chris, do you have information on where to get new bearings and shims?

When new, Reviewers liked the steering (and I agree, for the period it was quite good):Quote:
The steering is light but positive
