I just picked up the front disk brake gear (including Birfields), steering linkages and damper, powersteering system with tilt column, new brake master with proportioning valve, and clutch master from a 60 series LC. Cost me 500 Australian Pesos. Thats about US$275 at the moment. Is that fair?:D

i've seen wreckers charging up to $1200 for a power steering box and column. So i would say you got an excellent deal.
Now, where and who from? any more disc brake parts lying around for me?
If only I lived in Sydney! I read your Trading Post every now and then, and the number of 60s being parted out makes me drool. I have waited for months for ONE 60 to come up for parts in Canberra. It's sure paid off though.

I got the disk brake parts of real easy. Just take off the brake lines and steering linkages, then remove the seals fron the back of the swivel housing. Next, take off the steering arms and the pivot boss from the underside. It takes a bit of fiddling with the swivel bearings, but once you have the CV in the right orientation, the whole lot just slides right off.
Wreckers charge heaps.

If it makes you feel any better a rebuilt steering box from Spectre is around $600 US.;)
