    Default Hard to find parts. Uprights, Clevis bolts, steering racks

    Hello all

    I am taking a pole and would like to know what parts other vintage/club/modern formula ford guys find difficult to locate. I've had problems finding certain uprights, steering racks and the special clevis-bolt combos that go through upright mounting points. Anyone else encountering the same difficulty ? What other parts do you wish were more prevalent ?

    Thanks !

    Yes, I ended up making my own parts.

    Yes, Clovis bolts are always an issue due to all the different sizes/ configurations used. Upright and steering racks are usually proprietary and chassis specific. Alternate source of supply for any would be welcomed, but generic replacements would not be universally accepted.
