Re: non FRAP steering parts

[Tony Stevens <tony@domain.elided>]

Wayne,
Alfa Stop stocks genuine AR OE quality steering joints made by Lemfoder,
who are listed in the AR 105 Parts Book as one of two alternative
suppliers.
Side & centre track rods ends are currently in stock, side @ GBP14.00
each (about USD23.00) each, centre @ GBP16.00 (about USD26.00) each
I am waiting for other joints to arrive.
I hope that this is of interest & look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Tony Stevens
