You can't keep cranking on the over center nut and expect the box to work.
Or try these people. They have a good rep on another car (type) site.

I'll check with your sources to see if I can find some information about the different steering gears.
As for adjusting, I have adjusted this box once and then backed it off repeatedly until the car corrects itself post-turns. It's not that I keep tightening it, it's that further tightening doesn't result in any meaningful change. As I said, I think it was ignored for too long by the PO.
