Center link for '64 Jetstar Convertible?

I am freshening up the front end of my 1964 Jetstar convertible. I have all the parts I need except the elusive center link, which has the ends facing opposites directions.

Please respond with "sure things" not guesses, as I have chased too many ghost on this. I REALLY would appreciate a solid lead. Thank you!

type in what you are searching for and I know there's at least (4) or (5) of them listed right now.

FYI the obvious

I have checked the obvious places like ebay. Many are listed, but they are wrong. I even bought one before I really looked at how this is put together.

This center link has the ends pointing in OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS.

Overall, it would be great to know who supports Oldsmobile wear items in general... but on this right now, any direct link would mean a lot.

Thank you!!!

KANTER - Yes, I had seen this...

Yes, I had seen this, and I have heard they are great to deal with, thank you.

However, I was holding out for a better deal somewhere. I have a parts car for the exchange, I just don't want to deal with removing the one on the parts car to save on the $100 deposit... then do it all over again on my driver. I will if this is the only option. I just think it sucks they hose ya for $280 plus the deposit. Then the one below it for the Cutlas is $130.

It might be like my mom always said, "Just shut up and take it." <lol>

I hope not... Still would like to find a NOS or a reasonable new supplier.

Something like your mom would say: Buck Up and buy the damn thing or you'll never get it on the road!!!
