I\"\" have talked to a few folks in the Model A Community who are worried that if they don’t quickly buy the kit that they WILL NEED this winter for their steering rebuild, supply may again dry up and when winter 26-27 rolls around, they will not be able to get needed replacement parts.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!<\/span><\/h3>\n

As a lifelong car guy working on outdated Porsches, losing parts availability is a real thing for us. \u00a0I understand. \u00a0That makes us realistic about making sure that these critical steering parts come back to the United States and stay available here for years and years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is the promise that Model A Steering LLC is making to the Model A Community. \u00a0We are here, and we are here to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that this brings down the anxiety a couple of notches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"I am writing this to you from Penn Yan at the MARC National Tour on May 11 where over fifty Model A’s have collected to drive their cars and just have a great time. \u00a0While the weather is a little chilly for a Florida boy, the Model A Folks are the nicest ever! \u00a0As with most of these events, the Finger Lakes Region of MARC is having a raffle where you buy tickets and then place them in containers for a chance to win that particular prize. \u00a0Well, Model A Steering has donated a complete two-tooth rebuild kit to the event for the raffle! \u00a0Some lucky attendee will win a rebuild kit!<\/span><\/p>\n

That is our commitment to the community…we need to rebuild these steering boxes to keep our cars and occupants safe. \u00a0We will not just disappear one day!<\/span><\/p>\n

Model A’s were made to be driven, so get out there and drive yours!<\/span><\/p>\n
