This gasket seals the dowel-type side plate on the steering box assembly fitted to Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 Land Rovers. It prevents oil leaks from the steering box casing where the side plate mates to the main housing, a common source of steering box oil loss on ageing examples. Using the correct gasket profile for the dowel-type plate is essential, as it differs dimensionally from other side plate variants and must align precisely with the dowel location to maintain a reliable seal. Key Features Manufactured to suit the dowel-type side plate configuration specifically - not interchangeable with peg-type plate gaskets Replaces the original gasket as part of a steering box strip-down, rebuild, or oil leak repair Correct OEM-pattern fitment for Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 steering boxes When replacing, inspect the side plate dowels and housing face for wear or damage before refitting; replace steering box oil on reassembly Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Series 2, 2A, and Series 3 models equipped with the dowel-type steering box side plate.
