Hi Pim,
One of my rear reflectors disappeared about 10 years back and if I remember
correctly, the part was available new. . .I'ld check around.
The annoying rear end steerage you mention is likely the sliding splines at
each rear axle halfshaft temporarily seizing under load. These units are
nowhere near as efficient as modern cv joints and thorough, regular greasing is
necessary. I fitted grease nipples to quicken the job. Also consider fitting
harder trailing arm bushes. The stock ones are really soft and allow far too
much geometry change.
Hope this helps.
Mike
