73 roadrunner steering

[redrr]

After getting my 73 roadrunner steering column 90% completed, I'm still not sure how to handle the rubber hockey puck" for the rag joint
Has anyone had any luck finding it or a viable solution for this?
Thanks B

Dozen of threads about that on several boards.

use an actual hockey puck, drilling it accordingly

aluminium made piece (available around from bouchillon performance )

some ppl claimed success using the Land Rover replacement piece.

quite ago a poly replacement was available from bouchillon performance, but it seems didn’t hold nicely the exhaust manifold heat and they weren’t made anymore

Thankyou I'll give that a try

Thankyou I'll give that a try

So it looks like bouchillon now makes a rubber exact replica. At 145 bucks.

I never realized that before, since for some reason this topic hasn’t been touched anymore since long time ago!

That’s a good new!

I have used two generic rag joints off the Help rack at the parts store. Bolted them together with a few washers. $25 at most. That was a while ago when there was no correct replacements available.

Actual hockey puck (NHL spec) was under $5 and has been in there for almost 10 years.

Whatever they do to make them resistant to cold also makes them resistant to heat.

They don't melt when drilled, they spiral.

That's what I was looking for ! 5 bucks sold!

I was forgot to add the stacking of rag joints as a solution too!
