   Supplied as well but not pictured are the steering box to coupling bolts.. we give two types - although you only use one... that being a Torq head and standard head hi-tensile bolt.. your choice of which you choose to use.....

      NOTE........... FOR RHD converted cars.. mounted steering box G bodies in the 78-87  range.... Most all of the conversions used a HQ Holden steering box and the box's couple knuckle that splined onto the box's thread and then was re-bolted to THIS shafts flexible coupling. You MAY have to refit the lower box side knuckle coupling, which will require drilling out the two rivets and re-bolting or re-riveting it.

    Delivery is included within Australia when paid and finalised on line. 

    For those who are in the USA you'll find these  at good retailers like Classics/ OPGI / Year One or pwdstore.com etc.. NZ postage around $76

...ooo0ooo...

HELP:   Another typical compaint on these as they get older.... new and older.. is a bit of clunking... usually a lack of grease in a few either at manufacturer of the way it may have settled in the house over the years as a service replacement part.. or from years of use and never being regreased internally....... that's all.. they chatter a little.

    I've also found a easy fix for these used have been noisy .. fixed it straight away..
Probably in the original design from GM.. in reality.. these really needed a grease injection point.. they are a linked part.. like any ball joint etc..
  Having now fitted one to a car and greased it.. its quieter then many original GM ones... Might also be worth doing or suggesting to customers to think about.  As shown below on  couple we have done...
