I just purchased the nylon type pivot ***** as a replacement ofr my 63. If I had been able to locate the steel/brass ***** I would most likey have gone with those. Mine steel/brass ***** were OK, but I wanted the smoothest operation possible so I replaced them. All I could find was nylon at the time.

I say go steel/brass and lift a cold one when the installation is complete.

Long Island Corvette has both and they couldn't say why nylon was better than steel or vice versa. Only difference in price was $1.
