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 itīs 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, iīm becalmed, thatīs no scrap.![Wink](https://blazerforum.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
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, itīs from ebay) black grill the next weeks.
If it doesnīt 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 itīs made of zinc die-cast, and so I canīt 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.

For the backrest there are kits online that you can buy it and just bolts on to the broken part. You should be able to find it on ebay around $20.

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 didnīt find anything.
Thanks!!
Edit: I need something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=330651773482
