Steering Coupling
« on: October 09, 2008, 06:24:21 PM »
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
dave

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
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

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
