Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
Does it have an electric starter and would it fit a 79 Trailfire?
Smiling everyday about my new-to-me 79 Trailfire...priceless!
Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
Sorry no electric start.
I started tearing it apart tonight.
Has a good rear grab bar....$15 plus shipping
Engine Y pipe - $10 shipping

Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
I dont think I can help you out there. The steering linkages are bent/messed up.
Thanks for the interest!

Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
Even the centre one? That one is solid steel and like 9/16 thick? They must have really nailed something

Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
I do believe the 80/81 lf's had the aluminum rod instead of the steel it took them a couple years to figure out " hey maybe we should make those out of steel instead of soft aluminum ! I have only come across a few that weren't bent in all my parting out ! I can check and see if i have a steel one here ? It will prolly need the ends though ! lmkEven the centre one? That one is solid steel and like 9/16 thick? They must have really nailed something

Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
The steel one I have you can't replace the steering shaft end, only the one to the right spindle top

Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
He needs the drag link guys, not the tie rod. Has anyone looked to see if a trailfire is the same? I know the steering shaft is a bit shorter....

Re: 1980 LF - Parting Out
Could I maybe see some pictures of the drivers and axle if they're still for sale? You could email pictures to playintopraise@hotmail.com if you want.
Thanks,

The guy I bought the sled from said it was running great when he put it away. It just died on him. Well with a hole in the block and a piston skirt missing...i can see why it died. haha This may because the oil injection was removed....
