I would also like to hear from anyone who has one of these front shock absorber to axle rods for sale. I dont care if they are used, so long as good useable condition.

And finally, I have not been able to locate a replacement Ford steering wheel nut. My original one had to be split in two to get it off, and I dont think I can glue it back together again! Any leads on where to buy one of these would be gratefully accepted. For that matter, if you are able to tell me nut size and TPI, I can start the local bolt looking for one.

Thanks very much,

Hi Tony,

Have a couple of those pitman arm rubbers. They are NOS which makes them pretty old rubber but they seem usable. Have you got the steel caps they sit in?
Will check out junk box. May have a rough steering wheel nut for you to get you out of trouble until a better one comes along.
Will stick these items in a jiffy bag to you.
P.S. Haven't restarted the Blitz project yet. The lathe project has dominated what free time I've had but it's almost done so soon back into the truck.

Cheers,

Jacques
