Who is Crow? Are the three on top the replacements for the 3 on the bottom?
Don't know anything about those. They look interesting, other than they LOOK short in that picture and would like to know how they attach.

That is the correct contact information per his ebay seller profile. Painted gold?? Those parts are zinc plated...

Anyway. I will get up some pictures of the units installed on the car. If there is enough interest we can talk a possible group buy on these.

Edit: some of you may know him from the tube chassis frame he built, with the ford 9 inch, rack and pinion and frame widened for a v8.

Crow is a local So Cal guy who has a number of projects he has done. He also went to Solvang with a Datsun frame that had been modified to a tubular design including rack and pinion steering. There are some pics somewhere here. He has a monster Z too

Looks great and like a nice clean replacement. Does he include all the hardware? How much?

Yes he does include all the hardware. He gave me a price of $500 for everything, not bad considering what it costs for new oem offerings.

Like i said if there is enough interest, he has 15-20 sets of these so we could do a group buy.

Looks very nice. Glad someone is making replacements for these hard to find parts.

Also, this makes me doubly glad that I have a few good sets in my parts stash!

Cheers

In my quest to find an affordable alternative to what i posted above, and what is available to us. I think i have found success. Here is a quick picture of what i had made, these will be available for half the cost of what is out there now (under $275). I will have them in my hands by the end of next week and full post more pictures.
