1: Rebuild kit can be found
here<https://secure.cbperformance.com/shopcart.asp?add=5322>
2: Depending on your pump, may just need a 40 horse rebuild kit... let me
know what kind of fuel-pump you have.
3: The Angled Tie-Rod for one side can be found on Ebay UK... do a search
4: Sounds like the Tie-Rods should fix the slop
5: He probably is going to reline your existing ones
6: Those can be purchased new at ISPWest

Let me know if you need anything else... I own 2 1962 Notchbacks =)
