East German Blazer Rebuild and customizing
Next year I want to rebuild my front axle components and want to order the parts step by step.
Yesterday I asked my buddy for an offer for both upper and lower balljoints, tie rod ends and the tie rod adjusting sleeves.
I want them from Moog.
Today he gave me a call and asked me if it´s okay when some parts made by Spicer.
Well, I never heard something about Spicer, but I seen on the www, that they are a a company of Dana(?) and some good experiences in some other forums.
The price is the same, so I ordered the parts.

First, a happy new year to everyone!!
Thanks, war00, for your opinion about Spicer. So, i´m becalmed, that´s no scrap.
In fact, that here is no Winter this year
and my buddy now got a hall, I want to install my new (more or less, it´s from ebay) black grill the next weeks.
If it doesn´t look good, I will paint it with chrome effect varnish.
The seats make some trouble, the lumbar cable is ripped and the lever for the backrest is brokened off.
I knew that, and wanted to weld it, but it´s made of zinc die-cast, and so I can´t weld it
Knows any one, if I can repair it with J-B Weld? Another possibility is drill a threat and mill a groove for a tight fit, but it makes a lot of expense.

Thanks for the input.
But I think you mean the plastic lever. Thats not the problem, my problem is the zinc die-cast bolt, on which is the lever bolted on.
Sorry, if I gave a wrong phrase, my english is not the best.
But, if you mean a repair kit for the bolt, please give me some keywords, I just looked for it, but iI didn´t find anything.
Thanks!!
Edit: I need something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=330651773482
