This link is to a guy on Hotrodders.com who made up a electric power steering to suit a Falcon using later model parts. Might not be for you, but interesting none the less.

Hi Carmine, there always seem to be lots of exterior trim for sale on ebay for these 57's, although the 4 door hardtop specific pieces are harder to find, as with the Chevy. 4 door stuff.

I purchased a Newport wiper motor 4 years ago, and fitted it to my '57 Star Chief, as the original vacuum one was knackered. It bolted straight into place, and works perfectly. My one didn't have the...

Good ones are few and far between. When I was looking for mine I could only find 3 advertised-1 was $100k plus, 2nd wouldn't sell out of the US, and the 3rd I bought.

Good luck with your search!

I'll keep an eye on this request, as I wouldn't mind picking up another one as mine is a little dicey when operating. My other option is to take it apart and clean all the terminals I guess.
