Need a new steering shaft, Borgsen dealer in Calgary?

The steering shaft on my '03 in pooched. Can grab the top half of the shaft and give it a 1/4 turn before the lower half moves.

Dealer wants $900 for the new "updated" part. Anyone know if there is a Borgsen dealer in Calgary?

Any other options?

I bought mine from PDR. My old one wasn't that bad of condition. They list for 343 USD at PDR. I bought mine when our dollar was at par with the USD, it saved me a few $$$. If you buy from PDR, you should have it in a couple days, they ship pretty quickly with DHL. Sure beats driving around town to find a more expensive part.

I should have bought more stuff back then. I have some stuff stocked piled in the garage but you always need more new stuff. At 1.25 exchange thats a nasty bite for us.

I agree, I too should have bought more stuff when the dollar was at par...

Like the BD Twins, a SB clutch, a crate motor for my 5.0L Stang, some new frilly things for wifey, etc., etc......
