Default Re: Vega manual steering box in 3rd gen Camaro help

I have one at my shop and will get you the number off it.
It came with the Gen 3 Quay car I bought as a project.

Thank you, would be great if I could figure this out. I know people have used this set up. Big issue seems to be ball joint size on center link not working with Vega pitman arm.

I believe Borgeson might have the parts you need also.

The pitman arm on my 3rd gen with Vega box has been welded. The center link hole was cut from the original pitman arm and reattached to the Vega arm.

Note, the Vega box does have a high steering effort. I built another 3rd gen with the S-10 box, and the steering effort was more agreeable.

This Camaro came to me with the Vega box and the welded pitman arm. If I were starting anew, I will do the S-10 box.

As usual. I know it is somewhere in the Quay Car stuff on the upper deck, but I can't seem to locate it.
Larry Woodfin ( AKA Dragsinger) remember how I had the car stuff all over that upper deck when you looked at it?
I will look again today.
