I'm putting Disco I axles under my series rig. If only I had a steering knuckle from the left side of a right hand drive rig it would be much easier. This would allow me to have a simple crossover steering setup without having to use linkages behind the axle (and on through or around the leaf springs).

Any suggestions on how I might get one of these knuckles? Anyone over there pondering the same thing?
Thanks for the help.

I think I have a local solution to this. Still, if anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mitch:)

Australia Post. Reasonably economical for smaller parcels of up to about 3kgs, and reliable to the US in our experience.

Depending on the weight and size, I could carry it from Sydney to Seattle in 3 weeks time. I can't afford to go over my baggage allowance, though.

I see you are in the NW USA. I'll be attending the Pacific Coast LR club meeting on the evening of 7th May before heading up to Vancouver on 16th for the All British car show at Van Dusen Gardens.

There is still an Australia Post surface mail service to the USA. This is the cheapest means of sending goods as long as the weight is not over 20kg. Permissable dimensions are max. 105cm long and 140cm circumference. Takes 8-12 weeks in my experience. 1kg is AU$18.35, 2kgs cost AU$33.95 and $3.50 per extra 500 grams or part thereof.

The US Postal Service no longer, since May 2007, has a surface mail service to Australia.
