I know I've seen this posted here before but wanted to double check.

I have a set of Steering Arms that came off of a '71 Spridget that I was planning on using on Bugsy IV Disc Brake Conversion.

BTA648S MF D2
BTA649S MF C4

I believe these will work and I know Gerard posted the correct Steering Arm Codes sometime back but I can't find the thread. Anyone know off hand?
 
Got my answer from Gerard. Those indeed will work with a BE.

Both front shocks are now installed. Steering Rack new Bellows, Filled up with 90W Mercruiser Outdrive Lower End Fluid. Did you know if you stand rack on end, held in your vise, you can fill it up from the Pinion Gear side and then slip on and clamp down the rack bellows. Tie Rod Ends replaced, Rack Reinstalled. I did manage to install the DS Wishbone. I spent almost 2 hours looking for a wayward bushing. I had 4 and then one disappeared. 2 hours wasted and I could not find it anywhere. I know I will stumble across it tomorrow. Since things will be coming apart next fall for painting, I reused an old bushing, Bugsy will get Poly's up front when I pull apart to paint. I hope to finish installing LF Suspension tomorrow and get a start on the Right Side as well. It was 63 degrees today in Dayton and a treat to be able to get out and work in the garage with the Sun shining and the Garage Door open.
