    I've got plenty of them. By the way, a 68 arm is different than 65 - 67.

    I'll post pictures tomorrow. I came to work without my camera or phone today. Yes, I'm getting old and forgetful.

    Regards

    Hi Jim,
    I figured 68 had to be an odd ball. I definitely needed a 65-67. I have found one from 912 Registry from a very kind member for the cost of shipping. Thank you to all that responded.

    Regards,
    Bob

    Here is the difference.
    The 67 and earlier one is on the left
    The 68 attaches the the chassis and the crossmember just like a LWB.

    so it is just the bushing thing that is different---the A-arm is the same right?-

    btw: sometimes it is very good to forget phone and cam at home...so you can focus on what you have planned for this day...even if you have no plan.

    Thank you Jim for the photos and information. Looks like the 68 has a different angle that would affect castor? Steve

    Good eye! Actually, the 2 arms have exactly the same geometry. We have examples of both straight and curved arms in stock. They seem to be random and in no particular order.

    Regards
