Default 64 rag joint

The flexible (rag) joint on my 64 needs replacing, looking for NOS or current GM or equiv to replace, standard steering. Also considering purchasing lower assembly with new disc, anyone have experience with this? thanks, Joe.

Pretty hard to find NOS or GM, but Paragon sells an american made, nice replacement for about $94.00.

I just got mine back from Tom at Corvette Steering. It looks like new, with a very fast turn around. Tom is a very nice guy, and a pleasure to do business with.
