When I bought the steering column & related steering stuff {way back when}, the salesman sold me pin & block joints that he told me to weld to the chromoly tubes & a hex steering wheel hub. I never was a fan of welding the joints in permanent. I asked "What do I do if I need to replace it?" Cut it out, was the answer. I guess that's an option, but I prefer bolt in.... so today I ordered a couple flaming river splined joints & splined stub shafts for the tubes so it will be a bolt in not weld in deal now. They are also needle bearing u-joint type instead of the pin & block type. Then I decided to buy a wheel hub extension for the steering wheel to make it easier for my elderly self to exit the cockpit. That's all well & good but the hex wheel hub slop will be just that much sloppier ....so, I called Mark Williams & ordered a splined release hub. I should have all the stuff I need now to finish the steering portion of this deal.
So, Ann E. Body know of Ann E. Body that would like a good deal on some "X" but never used steering components?
A 3/4''x3/34' smooth bore pin & block joint, a 3/4'' smooth bore x 9/16''x26 joint (Fits a pinto R&P) & a 3/4" 3 hole mount hex steering wheel hub.
