Hi there, Im after some clarification of the Global West Steering system for Impala’s 1959- 64. Are these certifiable in New Zealand they look like a good bit of kit.

Hi Ghibb

The requirement for a drag link being manufactured from a single piece of material has not changed since the introduction of the Car Construction Manual. It is not a new amendment.

I would need more detail on the Truturn plates to answer your second question accurately. But if it is a 2 piece drag link then it would not be acceptable.

currently know of a car that is certed for a two peice link which was approved by lvvta , planing on a exact copy , this shouldnt be a problem if one has been passed allready?

Hi Ghibb

A 2 piece drag link would not pass inspection without TAC approval for an exception to requirements.
