New sector shaft and wormgear

[bnichols04]

Is there someone that sells new sector shafts and wormgears for the 65-73 mustang steering boxes? Or do I have to buy a completely new one? Thanks

Depends on what you need.

The 1965 to early 1967 used a 1" sector shaft, the later 1967 to 1970 used a 1 1/8" sector shaft. New ones are hard to come by. There is a place that used to Ebay the 1" sector shaft, but they were Argentine repros made many years ago and they were about .003" oversize and wouldn't fit into the needle bearings.

I have seen Mustangs Unlimited sell NOS Ford Long Input/Worm Gear and Rack assemblys for the 1965-1967 Mustang with 19:1 manal steering, so I believe they must have a limited stock of them.

Have not seen anybody with a regular stock of short input setups, long 16:1 setups or sector shafts.

If you want new, you will have to go with the Argentine built Flaming River box.

Borgeson sells blueprinted steering boxes for 65-70 Mustangs for 360, if you need the 1 1/8 you can buy through Summit for 355, mines on the way

I was hoping that i could just get away with getting a new sector shaft for my 65 mustang gearbox. I don't have the money for a whole new one or a "rebuilt" one.
