Re: [HSS] Orbital Gears

Unknown

Ken, thanks for the reminder - In the rush and confusion
of the Holidays I completely lost track. Now that saner times are back yes I
still want the steering column and hopefully steering wheel w/ levers. In the
mean time if you want to lend out the gears that's fine as I would also like to
get an extra set in the process.Sorry I dropped the ball on this and thanks
again.  Alex Jones

jc,
This thread has gone on so long, I forgaot the
original question....I think
you mentioned needing some of these
gears.  I have an extra steering column
for my '29 Challenger. 
Alex was interested in it at one time (Alex, if you
still are, let me
know) but if you need some sample gears, I can see what
condition mine are
in......
