Hi Cameron
From what I have heard its pretty hard to find a faulty one of these, they just keep going. Its the associated parts that are worn or give problems.
The little wiper boxes are another thing as they get very worn and give trouble. Also the ends and nuts get worn also.
I would certainly suggest to purchase these new/repro.
I purchased the whole 'shooting match' from Don Pilling in Labrador Queensland at Snake Bite as it was not worth the trouble mucking around chasing the bits. Any I did get were - as I said - worn or stripped.
All part of building a car.
Cheers
Bernie
