when these pitman arms r assembled there is a lip hangin of the pitman arm and a cap is inserted into this and then that lip is pressed over to stop it comming appart, me thinks ya might have to track down a standard pitman arm with a tapered hole in the end.

Give Landy Spares in Silverdale a ring, I got a 80 of them for $100, ended up swapping it though for a 70, so they may still have it.
Try not to let your mind wander...It is too
small and fragile to be out by itself.

the top arm on the box is the 2wd arm
the middle one is a fj80 arm
and the bottom one is a toy 4wd arm

Got this pic from...

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=294202

Im looking for a flat pitman arm that will go straight onto a solid axle box, the 2wd one looks the goods, but i believe there is some modifying to do. Are the splines on IFS and solid axle boxes the same? if not are solid axle boxes the same as 2wd boxes? :?

Also anyone got pics of the 70 and 75 series arms? and know what they will bolt up to?

You need a Diahatsu Rocky steering arm. They are the same spline but i think they have a master spline. You either file the extra spline with a triangle file or remove it with a dia grinder. Im pretty sure this arm is totaly flat.

Im also pretty confident that the 2wd arm is a different spline.
