Does anyone know where I can get a steering coupling/bush for my 76 CF?
The one that was in it was made out of one of those nolaprene type plastics and is marked HO1100.
I have tried a few car parts places but no luck so far. I found one that was marked CF Bedford and the catalogue said it would fit a 76 but when it arrived it was only about 10mill wide and round and the one on the van is about 25mill wide and square.
If I fail to locate one tomorrow does anyone in Perth have one of a donor vehicle?
Cheers

beddies have a couple of different types.
someone told me once torana had a similar rubber, not sure if it's right or not but could be worth a shot
go for the rubber one, dont get the noathane ones, they transfer the vibrations to the steering wheel

Hey Dave the torana one is the one I just put one in my 76 campa fitted perfect cheers Reid

chech out ebay item 150301078324 if the torana one isn;t you.

Thanks for your replies.
I managed to find an original CF one yesterday at WA Suspensions, they dont stock them anymore but one of the guys there was using it as a paperweight as he couldnt bring himself to throw it out. It is black rubber with metal banding.
The one listed in the Nolaprene catalogue for a CF does not fit mine, the catalogue one is round and only 10mill thick whereas the one I put on is 25mill thick, with metal corners. I reckon nolaprene got the catalogue numbers mixed up unless some did come out round couplings (My bedford manual pictures a square one)
cheers
