Steering Column 'Rag Joint' source

I tried Ecklers and MA both, neither seem to stock this item. Anyone know where I can get one (1964 convertible) ?

Spider,

I have an excellent condition steering column rag joint remaining from my '64 Coupe restomod project. It is the original piece from the car and is in fine condition. I can send you some pictures if you're interested. Let me know.

I used one from an old Impala I found in a junkyard, not sure what the differences are but it worked perfectly and still is.

Nope, it was and still is very solid... This was a lotta years ago and the doner car was in pretty good shape with low miles. Totaled rear end. The original one in the Vette, now that's a different story...
