Foden steering link - Traction-Talk

Foden steering link wanted, as photo, and as fitted to C type wagons.
Threaded end preferred, 3/4 BSW.
Any help appreciated.

Hello

'C' type wagons have Ackerman steering, this must surely be off a five tonner?

If you PM me some dimensions, I'll compare it to the ones that I had made for the Earl of Dudley and if any good, I could lend you the pattern to have one cast from steel, which is what I did.

Regards

Alan

Its off an Agritractor.

John, Michael Webber down in Sussex did make some steering components like this a while ago, all farbricated, but a very nice job nonetheless.

I don't think they were Foden, but he did make a point of testing them an supplying certificates etc.

You're quite right Alan. The link is for my Agritractor and it seems that Foden's picked up the bits they needed from all the parts bins in the works. I will measure the link tomorrow and PM you some dimensions. Thanks for your help.
