    This is from a 1937 wood boat I'm building, I want to move the steering wheel from the right to the left and need the mirror image of this gearbox. Boats of this era commonly shared steering parts with the auto industry so I'm hoping someone might recognise this and give me some ideas on what to look for other than the specific boat that I have.

    Boats have a lot of room for bell cranks an things! The box you have can be mounted on it's side vs up an down,mount pitman going up or down< if talking normal,and get movement your looking for with box you already have. To bellcrank an link to rudder.

    I'm thinking a right hand drive model A box might do it but would probably be pretty hard to find in north America. Or a f1 box flipped over?
