  1. I figure this may be a long shot.  Before I try to fabricate this rivet for a 1954 buick power steering unit,  I wanted to see if anyone has this rivet they would be willing to sell. The  rivet fits into the power steering gear housing to prevent the outer steering column from rotating and ensures proper alignment. I have attached  a picture of a steering gear I had rebuilt and a picture of the one to be rebuilt. I put a yellow arrow pointing to the rivet. 
    Thanks , Brian

  2. Did all 1954 models with power brakes use an electric vacuum pump. It looks like buick re-designed the power brake cylinder in 1955 and added a vacuum canister from the information I could find. I couldn't find information if any redesign was done on the 54 units to avoid using the electric vacuum pump.

    Thanks, Brian

  3. I was looking on the Lares Corporation website about purchasing a rebuilt power steering box for a model 100. I saw they have one listed for roadmaster/super (picture with number 8350) and one listed for century/special (picture with number 8397). Is there a difference? Is the shaft a different length?  They don’t list one for a skylark, but I assume it would be the same as the century/special.

    Thanks
