Pro53 Sorry I missed your question!
Pro53, so sorry I missed your question earlier about the corvair steering arm. Yes I had the speedway chrome short steering arm strip where it meets the steering shaft. It left me with no steering in front of the shop (thankfully there instead of at 55 MPH somewhere) Then the second one they sent me snapped in half while pops was driving the car one night. THANK GOD HE WAS NOT HURT!
I found an original Corvair arm off of Ebay, painted it up and have been fine ever since. The stock Corvair arm is longer than the Speedway unit so if ground clearance is an issue be careful. Pops might chime in here but Speedway was going to come out with a forged steel steering arm after they had so many issues with the one I had breaking.
What arm did you end up using?
Sorry again for missing your question. Don Jr.Don Jr.
