I think that's 8000 characters for you to submit your request.

Keep trying the fripps, but you could also try eagle spares in Dandenong, they had the idler arm bush (moog) for my classic. Or try autosurplus.com.au they have some parts.

Thanks guys. Been a bit time stressed with my one tonner off the road but I'll chase all of these leeds. Thanks again, Mick.

Yeah don't give up trying Steve Fripp as he may have some new ones or some second hand ones around
Or try this website RockAuto or actual page if it comes up; http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/american+motors,1971,matador,6.6l+401cid+v8,1005455,steering,pitman+arm,7368 While it doesn't have anything under the Moog part number but if you put in Matador, V8, Steering it comes up with some Power steering and manual steering Pitman arms. The power steering arms are different brands again then mentioned in previous post. Not sure if these are any good for you? Edited by 70Hornet - Jul/16/2017 at 7:51pm |

US ones don't fit our Aussie cars unfortunately.

Bugger!
The manual steering Hornets can use a US part so I just thought the Matador's etc may have been the same What are the Moog ones you mention originally off? IE RHD specific or a LH car? Update 5 minutes later :-) its OK I just re-read GremX's article wow they were AMI specific. Although with a US part number I gather they were for the RHD postal cars over there? And that is a great article that one GremX. Edited by 70Hornet - Jul/16/2017 at 8:21pm |

They are for earlier 60's US cars like the Ambassador.
You are lucky with the Hornet since all parts cross over except for the drag link. |

Spoke to Steve Fripp today for about 20 mins today and he's on the case. I'll still chase all the leads you guys gave me. Cheers

This place in NZ perhaps:
http://www.briconengineeringgroup.co.nz/ There is also a place called the ball joint doctor in Coffs Harbour. I'm not so sure about the injection type repairs though. |

I have s/h ones because I'm a hoarder and knew these days would come. But hard to check for wear even if you put the taper with a nut onto into a vice. You can't really duplicate a 1-1/2 tonne car that way. But if someone has one really bad I can sell what I think is reasonable to give it a try. I'm in hospital at the moment so bear with me.
Thanks for the good words on my article. It took a while to put together. I think it summarizes what ami did in narrowing it down to only keeping two parts in stock the entire time they were in business, even though the us changed mid 60's Edited by 74gremx - Jul/17/2017 at 2:35am |
