<VV> Corvair Steering Gear Box Cores

[peter koehler]

Group: For the rest of us who are not in the know about 
Corvair steering gear boxes, I know of two sources to sell 
your rebuild-able cores to. Of course Cal Clark and 
company are quite capable to rebuild the boxes stock and 
sell them back to folks in our hobby. Check his website 
for current prices (last time I checked the going rate was 
$25 each and you pay the shipping). Another vendor 
interested in our used steering boxes is Total Performance 
in Wallingford, CT. That company builds fiberglass "T" 
Bucket street rods and uses a Corvair or a Vega gear box. 
Total Performance reverses the input - output of the box 
for their application. Once done the box is useless to the 
Corvair hobbyist. Check the TP website for current prices 
but the last price I was quoted was $50 each and Mickey 
(owner Mickey Lauria) pays the shipping. So it comes down 
to a decision: Do you want to be greedy and send our 
Corvair cores elsewhere or do you want to support our 
vendors? For the record I send everything else to Cal but 
still do biz with Mickey and the street rod gang. I would 
love to build a Corvair powered "T" bucket street rod some 
day...- Pete K
