Can anyone identify this steering mechanism? Frame bracket appears to be a direct bolt on for a model T.

The split housing suggests a Ross steering box, and Ross did make a direct fit T version. I believe Les Schubert would know more…

It's a CPC "Balanced Pressure" steering box. The adjustment at the back pulls all the slop out. I have one on my Mercury Speedster.
