4 1/2 dropped steering arms in stainless

ok heres my first post ever............i bought a 1940 ford front end off of a buddy of mine about 10 years ago 4 inch dropped tube axle, chromed split wishbones,vega cross steering and stainless dropped arms i put it on my 29 on duece rails only changing to a 4inch dropped i beam front end works great i also have 3/4 to 1 inch room under the split bones so my drag link dont hit the wishbones...........my question is im building another hot rod 32 frame and want the same front end on it so where can i find 4 1/2 dropped steering arms in stainless? .....alot of people are running wishbones now and im trying to figure out how they do it without hitting the wishbones

 

I would like you to think seriously about using stainless steel steering arms. I have never heard of any breaking, but stainless is not the strongest metal. If you do a little research you will find that the average stainless bolt is weaker then a grade 5 mild steel, ARP bolts are stronger. In a prior life a worked in a industry that the USDA wanted new equipment to be stainless steel. The question was not would it crack but when it would crack. This was 4" x 6" x .250 wall tubing. Sermons over. Good Luck

 

Yea is anYbody else running SST. steering arms? Socal sells them to so does Speedway. Anybody running chrome or SST?

 

I've used the SS arms like So-Cal sells for years with no problems. I like the thru bolt design.

 

I remember riding down the interstate in a car that had the blind-hole bolts come loose on a dropped steering arm. I think a thru-bolt is the only reliable solution, and make sure you use new nylock nuts.
