I'm working on putting my 165 back together. The adapter plate between the steering box and the block was cracked. I pulled the box and gutted it to find thick greasy mud and loose bearings. I've got everything cleaned up and ready to install but for the life of me I can't find these bearings. I ordered a set from the UK but they are too small. I also can't seem to find the cover gasket either but I can always make one of those. I'm starting to think I'm going to have to make some plastic/aluminum bushings instead. If anyone can pointe in the right direction, it'll be appreciated.
I did find some new old stock bearings on eBay but for that price I might as well replace the whole box.
