Unicorn Alert: Rubber Steering Coupler

[jfa.series1]

Unicorn: a mythical animal typically represented as a horse with a single straight horn projecting from its forehead.  Alt.: a rare Datsun part, usually made of unobtanium.

I took this rubber steering coupler from a 12/71 parts car recently.  Its in amazing condition - the rubber is flexible and lively, NO CRACKS or other damage, no signs of aging, bolts/nuts are in perfect condition - no thread damage.  I've used a wire wheel on the plates and bolts to remove rust, bathed everything in Metal Ready.  I'd throw a coat of black paint on the plates but its too cold to paint right now.  Offering it here to fellow enthusiasts before listing on any classifieds or eBay.  Priced at $40, includes USPS Flat Rate Priority shipping.

I'm wondering the same, can't you just get aftermarket ones? I'm guessing this is for those that want original?

[S30Driver]

This might be one of those cases where rubber is better that poly for a street car.   The polurethane ones transmit too much road feedback thru the steering column.   The oem ones I am guessing are NLA.

yes the OE's are NLA...Wish we could convince a vendor to reproduce this part...
