57/58 Kombi king pins
Heinz - June 20th, 2008 at 11:45 AM

my 57/58 front end that came from SA (what roadworthy in 50 years?) is going to need new king pins and link pins. But I have heard it's impossible to find replacements due to the king pins being smaller on the earlier buses. I'm not sure about the links.

Can anyone shed any light on this as I've just started the resto I promised myself I'd start 3 years ago and guess what, the kings and links are sloppy.

Is there anyone here who refurbishes the stub axles?

Cheers,

Paul.

Yes, that is an option, Dave, but I'd like to hear from anyone else before getting my 'bigger' cheque book out! :lol:

Perhaps you'd also be kind enough to tell me his email address?
