1972 parts needed
Hi all,
I'm after some parts for my 72. The car is matching number original throughout so I would prefer to keep it that way if possible. I have bought parts from Willcox in the past however I can't seem to find the tie rod ends I need there, they possibly don't sell them. I would prefer to buy all the parts from the same place as need them posted down under.
Parts I need
Left/Right inner tie rod ends
Power steering hoses
Possibly a new wiper motor with washer motor (Auto elect will be here tomorrow to check and see if this is the problem with the wipers not working).
Thanks all.
Are these the inner tie rods ends I'm after?

These look like the power steering hoses I'm after. Might as well replace all of them.

have you tried either of these locals for less shipping costs than your average house is worth?

Good news.... I finally got the auto elect to have a look at why the wipers weren't working. Turns out I had switched on the dash over-ride switch. I didn't know that switch between the wiper door and headlight over-ride switch done anything. I remember turning it off and on about 2 months ago to find out what exactly it does 
Anyway turned out to be a cheap fix and wipers working fine again.
I emailed Willcox about the inner tie rod ends. They said the correct tie rod ends they stocked were crap thus they pulled them from the shelves. They do have an American made tie rod end as a replacement though. I think I'll buy the Moog as I have bought them before and they're are definitely among the best you can buy.
Question: Do I need to check what direction the thread is on the inner tie rod ends before buying or is one left and one right hand thread? Can they be both the same thread direction?
Are these the right Moog inner tie rods ends for 72 Corvette 350 chev please?
