In reply to a message from peder sent Sat 3 Sep 2016:
Peder,
You probably mean the 420 steering or late Mk 2 boxes. I cannot
find one! Hens teeth might be easier to lay hands on?
Then there is the issue I am dealing with now: mounting, rag union
fit, pitman arm size and geometry.
Not simple I am afraid.
Alternative is resurfacing and grinding original armature in the
Mark IX box and that will be north of 2000 USD.

The original message included these comments:
What about using the much better Marles Varamatic steering
box that Jaguar started using on the saloons in !965. Came
with PS needless to say. They are bone dry after an
overhaul.
