BC_99 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 If you have any old junk couplers lying around, I would like to purchase them from you. Im thinking around $15 each or so.... Be reasonable with your asking price and I will send you money for your old worn out steering couplers. Im hoping to use this old car Im parting out to make a jig to make and sell nice new U-Joint/couplers to replace the old worn out steering couplers that everyone is hoping to replace. However I need some old couplers, for parts, to get started. LMK. BC_99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankbob Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) You can put me on the list for a replacement when you get some built, I cant stand the steering wheel play but I cant fab anything.

You can put me on the list for a replacement when you get some built, I cant stand the steering wheel play but I cant fab anything. I'll let you know. I am going to talk with a friend that owns a performance parts store tomorrow and show him what I'm working on to see if he can connect me with the right people to have a direct replacement made or at least get as close as possible. I like the idea of what was done in the pinned thread in the steering and suspension FAQ section, but would like to try to find a more suitable DIYer friendly option. I'll keep you guys posted and will probably start a GP thread when I nail it down. Bump for wanting junk couplers. BC_99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC_99 Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) I hope you are prepared for the demand of your new product, early retirement is even more attainable!! Lol, thanks. I'm not hoping to retire off of this community, I just hope to help keep it afloat. The meeting went well, it looks like a 50/50 chance of getting a direct replacement u-joint made available. Trust me when I say, if it's possible, I WILL make it available to the community for a reasonable price and as easily adaptable to our cars as possible. I did dis-assemble an old junk steering box, a steering column, and had a decent coupler, in order to get the input shaft spline size and count and coupler length and as close as possible to the column output dimensions as I could for my contact to work with. Worst case, I can duplicate and slightly modify the aforementioned thread results for a closer bolt in application.

Dad Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Maybe contact this company since they rebuild vibration dampeners and mostly the couplers need new rubber installed. perhaps they can do it.

BC_99 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Sending you a super clean one , the peeps need this item duplicated I really appreciate the offer. I have a couple of good ones for measuring and such. I will be looking for junk ones to cut up if the direcdirect replacement doesn't pan out. Basically I will be doing something similar to the write-up in the steering faq section. BC_99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
