they'll also need to modify a pair of sierra front uprights for you too so they'll take the maxi ball joint.

are you going BEC or CEC? if BEC, you're better off sourcing your own prop

for column, down link and steering rack, ebay is probably best or someone on here.

EDIT : just re read and you want new stuff......? is this so you can have a new registration? most of the bits you're after would be altered so radically, you could happily claim them to be new anyway.

hi indykid

yeah, it is so i have a new registration (and i know it is not going to be "locost"

i've got the uprights covered (RD) hence didnt list it.

am going with a BEC - what do you mean I am better off sourcing my own prop? As in having one built for me?


i could claim that they are new but then I would also need receipts proving that, wouldnt i?

For the 3 items you list no-one will know if they are new or not if you get paperwork to say they are.

for prop - if you want a new one there are loads of places that can make them. Dunning and Fairbank, IMS, Bailey Morris are probs the 3 better known ones.

No idea where you will get a new steering column from and if you do find it id guess it wont be cheap.

B2 automotive make new intermediate shafts that can be modded to length - probs supply them to CBS.

is it possible to get a 2.4 quickrack for sierra? i can only seem to find a 2.8 on the net (inc RD) and MK say theirs is a 2.7

anyone shed any light?
