Where can I buy a RAG steering joint?

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a RAG steering joint, either original with the rubber disc, or the metal lockup type? My car is an '87 Firebird.

A company that will sell online would be good as I am in the UK.

You can get a metal rag-joint eliminator from here:

The pic is my car that has one installed.

Re: Where can I buy a RAG steering joint?

Thanks for the replies. I actually looked on Ebay, but for some reason it didn't find the ones above.

I like the sound of the metal one, however I read somewhere on here, about someone who fitted a metal joint and was slightly worried that the column and the input shaft to the steering box may not be dead in line. He had fitted the joint and found that on a full roatation of the steering wheel that it seemed to get a little tighter in one part of the revolution. Have you found anything like that?

I also read from someone else that the column and steering box were designed to be absolutely in line, and that it wasn't anything to worrk about.

What do you think?
