Re: Steering Linkage
Who is Crow? Are the three on top the replacements for the 3 on the bottom?
Don't know anything about those. They look interesting, other than they LOOK short in that picture and would like to know how they attach.

Re: Steering Linkage
That is the correct contact information per his ebay seller profile. Painted gold?? Those parts are zinc plated...fj20spl311 wrote:The name and phone number on the links are

Anyway. I will get up some pictures of the units installed on the car. If there is enough interest we can talk a possible group buy on these.
Edit: some of you may know him from the tube chassis frame he built, with the ford 9 inch, rack and pinion and frame widened for a v8.

Re: Steering Linkage
Crow is a local So Cal guy who has a number of projects he has done. He also went to Solvang with a Datsun frame that had been modified to a tubular design including rack and pinion steering. There are some pics somewhere here. He has a monster Z too

Re: Steering Linkage
Looks great and like a nice clean replacement. Does he include all the hardware? How much?

Re: Steering Linkage
Yes he does include all the hardware. He gave me a price of $500 for everything, not bad considering what it costs for new oem offerings.
Like i said if there is enough interest, he has 15-20 sets of these so we could do a group buy.

Re: Steering Linkage
Looks very nice. Glad someone is making replacements for these hard to find parts.
Also, this makes me doubly glad that I have a few good sets in my parts stash!
Cheers
James

Re: Steering Linkage
In my quest to find an affordable alternative to what i posted above, and what is available to us. I think i have found success. Here is a quick picture of what i had made, these will be available for half the cost of what is out there now (under $275). I will have them in my hands by the end of next week and full post more pictures.
