Lares

[ozziedog]

There’s a group buy over on the LateBay.com for flexible steering couplings from a place in the states called ‘Lares’. Going by the results of the last group buy with these, it would seem you can’t buy better. After watching all the results, I swapped mine for a good spare in my garage and the difference was extremely noticeable. However, this spare I put on is well over fifty years old so I’ve ordered a Lares one as well to be my new spare. Anybody wants one, get on it quickly over the weekend. Anybody that can’t get on there for whatever reason, give me a shout on here and I’ll add yours too.

Yes the Lares 209 VS the C&C OEM quality reproduction coupler was a huge difference, firm steering VS wet noodle, the C&C coupler I could fold in half after 2 months use

I didn’t think it would fit on yours bud with that custom front end. For everyone though I’m thinking between thirty five and forty five pounds per item plus postage if required . I’ll pick mine up at Techenders and if anyone wants one I’ll get theirs too. I’m not doing the group buy myself, but I’m sort of spreading the word

Ozziedog,,,,,,,that’ll be in April

Just for your info, that Lares steering coupler comes with the splined steering column connector as well.
I bought a couple of these a while back that only cost me £28 delivered.

Rock auto are excellent to deal with, I had an F100 for a bit and it was cheaper to get parts from them than the uk. Choose the slightly more expensive delivery (fedex I think) and all duty etc is done at source so no nasty surprises from the post office!

Now you’ve gone and done it. We need pictures of your F100 now. One of my favourites old F100s.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, Jealous now
