Looked for a flat plate steering arm to fit my 2.5" backing plate bolt pattern on an Econoline straight axle, but no luck at Speedway. Does anyone know where I might get one in the 2.5" bolt pattern spacing?
That's what I need in the picture. The one on the right. 2.5" center to center on the mounting tabs, with 9/16" holes. @ 10" overall length, with 6" from center of holes to end of the arm's hole. The end hole would be for 5/8" bolted heim. I thought about just ordering the Speedway bracket and cutting the tabs off and moving them in to 2.5" and having them TIG welded back on. I only have a MIG, and I'd rather they were TIG welded. That bracket is only $19, so not too spendy to rework.
