Title: Steering flex joint/rag joint
Post by: danfixer on April 29, 2007, 08:05:17 AM

Howdy-the flex joint in the old 1977 wagon has finally left the planet. I am sure I can fabricate a substitute, but it would be nice to find the legitimate item.
Any one have one of these or know of a slick way around this? I am considering using a chunk of industrial conveyor belting material from a local lumber mill.
Thanks for any ideas-Dan

Thanks Bill. I just found the thread you referenced! Timing is everything.... Er..the 1977 would use the 630-1008 or the 1012 kit? Thanks for your time. Dan

I'm curious about this as well. Which would we use for the 77 and up? I'll be changing mine out next week.

Hey Dave,
That kit should work for all Pintos that have that style joint.
