    Is there any way of knowing the steering box is back in the centre.

    You need to count the amount of turns from left to right, or vice versa then halve it. Say if its 8 turns from lock to lock, you know you need four turns from the centre to left and right. So at full lock count back to 4. Then your steering should be centre. So if this is right, your steering wheel should not be centre. Then you adjust the drag link to suit. Might be a bit tricky as the wheel has been moved on the spline though. But I know thats how you get your steering box centred....
    Theres probably a procedure in the online manual somewhere....
    Edit : Just found in the Gregorys manual for 1998 models its 3.4 turns lock to lock, and 1999 on it 4.3 turns.
    It also says the factory length of the drag link from joint to joint is 1123.4 + or - 1mm.
    If this helps.
