Drag link for an Edsel?

    Still not quite sure how this forum works. I just put in a message at the introduction thread. Hopefully, I am not doubling up on posting...
    Anyway, a few nights ago, I was driving home when I lost all control of my steering. Fortunately it happened AFTER I just rounded a 90 degree curve at 55mph. I coasted off the exit safely and got towed home...
    What happened is that the shaft on the control valve (originally power steering- but dismantled it) snapped in half between the ball joint on the pitman arm and the center arm.
    I am trying to find a replacement. I have found a drag link repair kit that is supposed to work, BUT I can't find the adjusting sleeve that actually holds all of the parts.
    Any advice out there?...
    Thanks.

    Depending on the model it should be the same as a Ford or mercury,if you are not planning on making the power steering work find manual steering parts.

    Look up Antique Auto Supply in Arlington, Texas. He has a boat load of Edsel parts including body and trim as well.
