Here are the photos. My car is obviously a driver. It was built in Oct 28 so I do not have the LH brake lever. Mine is the pistol grip version in front of the shifter. I do however have the split shaft version, I you need other photos let me know. Also let me know if Berts has the parts...

I will take photos when I finish dinner and post them. You might be able to get originals from Berts in CO. +1 (303) 293-3673 They have loads of original parts you would need to call since the original parts are not listed on the site.

I made my cotter pin box a few years ago. I purchased the box at Walmart. This is the item description and number Flambeau Tuff Tainer 4007, 24 Compartment Divider with Zerust Protection. It appears that they still carry this item. Less than $5.00. Supergnat

In response to post #8. I’m sure Berts would not do something like that. Their rebuilt spindles gave new balls installed. You would still need to get the new king pins and install the associated bushings to use them. I had my kingpins and matching bushings installed on my spindles by...

Berts is your best bet. They are great people with loads of original parts and new ones too.. They also have rebuilt spindles you can buy with an exchange.

Have you tried the hown when the engine is above idle? Mine whors best when I an driving. I use Singer sewing machine oin for lube.
