    Ken,
    The club has a few sets that were donated by a member to raise funds for the club. The only stipulation is the parts must be used on a SVO. Shipping can be a little spendy from WA state though. I could possibly check them in my luggage when I go to DFW in December.
    There's nothing more to see here, now move along...

    Meotchh,
    I don't mind the freight costs.You do not want to go to the airport with that much metal in your luggage. Just tell me how much money you need and where to send it.I live in McKinney just 30 min N of Dallas...If you want to see a stunning gorgeous 1986 all stock with 11,000 miles...just give me a call. The LCA will be used on my SVO.

    tommyb,
    Thank you for the response. The club itself has a few sets so I will buy one of those.
    Please let me know if I can ever help you find anything
    Ken

    Ken,
    I'll send you some pics & allow you to pick the ones you want. I think there might be a set with the ball joints already machined out. I'll get back to you with a price & the shipping cost.

    Meotchh,
    No need for pics. Just pick out a set with original ball joints still in it. Then tell me how much and where to send the money.
    My guy did not want the set with already machined out joints. He wanted to see it in stock form and machine them out himself!!
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Be sure and tell him that it is HARDENED! If he is not prepared for that you will ruin an arm or bit.

    Ken,
    I got busy with work chaos before we left for GA. I will have the stock set (with ball joints) boxed up & ready for shipping this weekend. I'll call you with the pricing for everything on Saturday.

    Ken,

    The control arms are on their way via fedex. You should see tracking updates in your email. ETA is 12/1/17. I'll give you a call when we're in DFW next month. Hopefully I can make some time to meet up & check out your SVO.

    Thanks again for supporting the club with your donation!!

    Great Ken! Yeah we are planning out some of our trip right now. I'll give you a call after this weekend. We've got a lot going on before we head out to DFW.

    For the ball joint use the low friction SN95 from Napa 260-1463. The Steeda X2 ball joint will also work. For the adapters use the adapters from Maximum Motorsports MMFCAB-10. They have urethane control arm bushings also 6-208-BL.

    I’ve been working on a ball joint that can be used without the adapters.

    The balljoint required for the SVO spindle is from a Lincoln Mark VII

    the Napa part number I have is 260-1386 or Moog K8471
