While I am enjoying the humour on this thread, poor old Bobs thread seems to have no attention paid despite the importance.
I knew a chap in the 70s who had a bad accident in a Nippy due to steering failure, his girlfriend passenger didn't fare to well having hit a laminated Windscreen .
I have recently read of dressing out cracks, polishing, and reusing,I for one definitely would not go there!
The steering arms from David Cochrane are stronger than the original and excellent value at £55.
We are saving on not having an MOT, so not much more to buy a steering arm and keep our cars and ourselves safe.
I rather like the fabricated steering arm on one of John Miles Cars, being longer it will make the steering easier as well. I know not everyone has the skill or equipment to make their own, but here's a photo of said part.Lots of other very nice items on this car as many of you will know.
Sorry David, I meant £75
