Steering coupler found

[67Impjuice]

Rock auto has Lares brand steering coupler that is an exact replacement for my 67. Bolted in with no issues. Was going to try a Land Rover coupler but didn’t have the room without modifying

Thanks for the heads up! Just bought one for each of my cars.

They list this also #217....is this thing necessary?Should it be ordered because it's hard to find?

I looked at it and I can’t even determine where it would go and exactly what it is.

When I looked at Lares 217 I got this: Steering coupler insulator

And the picture is this:

Yeah, I see those other pics. I might buy one just to see what the heck it is!

I'm guessing it covers the pot coupler to keep some heat away from the grease inside. Anyone else?

 

[detmatt]

Parts book shows nothing like it.

Ooooooh....we have a mystery on our hands!

No mystery.
They have the wrong application.
I believe it's actual fitment is for the Forward Look models.

We talked about this in some other threads. Of course, it was just after I bought the Rover piece and modified it.

It looks to be the way to go. A little more money, but you also won't have to modify it.

Yes, I do confirm.
That steering insulator is used on Forward Look models.
And if my memory serves me right, it goes where the red circle is, below.
