It sheered at the hole where the bolt goes in. I thought about going that route but didn't think it would hold well enough to support the force on the turns; and also didn't think it would let the bolt move freely during the turns.

GoMachV, thanks for the response, very helpful. So I understand the 6254 and bearings part and will order those from ebay. For the steering linkage, it looks like what you are proposing is a threaded rod and ball joints. I have some the original old associated ball joints/ball cups will those work w...

Doug, thanks for the advice. Went the ebay route which seemed like the most optimal. I'm guessing for the spring I can pull one from a pen and cut it down if needed?

Hi all, So I pulled out my vintage 6010 model I build when I was a kid and passed it down to my 12 yo son. We went bashing for a bit and ended up losing one of the dogbones #6370 and the spring #6372 as one the the buckles came undone. I've been scouring the interwebs looking for a replacement of ea...
