Ha! That's probably why I couldn't line up the column with the mountings! I wondered about it at the time but the dashboard was a repro one so I blamed that! The column doesn't line up with the oil button either.
I do remember a lot of struggling to get the steering box in the car at all. Perhaps it had better stay there - it's been in a long time now and vintage ones seem to be very difficult to find.
Annoyingly, the Chummy has a restricted lock on the off-side due to the drag link fouling the brake pedal. I assume that this is something to do with the Box steering casting but can't fathom out exactly what's what....
