pitman arm

has anyone seen a pitman arm shaped like a letter "S"
I have one on a 1930 Coupe I just got and the steering
is great. do not know if these are sold or did someone make it.
Thanks Jack
 
Not that I know of! Maybe home made!

Sounds like it was an arm that had the same spline but was longer so it was "adjusted" by heating and bending into the S shape. How does the C-C length compare to a stock pitman arm?
 
Sounds like a quick way to shorten a stock pitman arm. But if heated to bend, what about the temper?
 
Heating/bending is not a problem if one heats and lets the item slow cool. No water quench, air cool only; some pack in sand and let part cool overnight. I have bent steering arms on spindles for dropped axles, never a problem with a slow cool.
