Anyone have a very nice 12 point steering coupler flange bolt they would be willing to part with? PM me. Mike

I've got one Mike...And I actually only have one...I was going to sell it with the coupler but since I only have one it would have taken someone else to buy or find one like you are doing. It's one of the original bolts from my '64 Coupe.

You can have it for the cost of shipping.

Decide if you want a fully threaded pinch bolt or if one with the unthreaded shank will work in your situation.

Sometimes the bolt with the shank can't be torqued enough to get the steering coupler to tighten enough not to slip. You think you're squeezing down the coupler shell halves together but you are really just reaching the end of the threads and screwing up the bolt.

Ask me how I know.

Thanks to all of you who offered up a cinch bolt of my rag joint. Very much appreciated. And a great big thanks to wolfman64 for the delivery and a great bolt. Both of worked through the black out and freezing temperature for days. Thanks Jeff.
