Follow up as promised.
Took my Amazon to a local classic specialist today: put the old heap on their shaker plates/went for a test drive.
Their verdict?
Play in the steering box - there was a fair bit of clunking from the bottom of the box where the Pitman arm attaches. This is not what I wanted to hear as I'm led to believe decent used boxes are in short supply. All other steering components were in good order with no play.
'Wanted' post to follow!
