Hey gang..
Working on rebuilding the complete front suspension on my Daytona, including the steering gear box and steering wheel column retainer. Anyone know where I can get a good quality repair/restoration kit for the retainer that attaches to the gearbox input shaft. I want black, not the orange that was out there for many years.
PS: Now that I have a steering coupling kit, are there any pointers or "words of wisdom" on changing out the retainer? I hear trying to bend the tabs are a bear....

Hey Troy, do you mean the steering "coupler" where the "south" end of the steering column shaft attaches to the input shaft of the steering box? You can PM if you like since I have some extra parts and just converted my 70 Roadrunner from manual to power.
