Reviving this interesting simpler option thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 1- Was there a specific reason for using a 75-76 column? Was it because the clam shell is plastic? Would a 75-76 plastic clamshell fit a 73-74 column? 2- What was the requirement for using the 73-74 lock assembly and the 75-76 bezel? Look? 3- You machined an aluminum (or steel?) plate that would be mounted on the backside (?) of the dash supporting the assembly? How is the ignition cylinder held to the aluminum (steel?) plate? 4- The angled ignition housing was cut from the aluminum column casting and the clam shell, how was the clamshell rebuilt with its now cylindrical look? Sorry for all these questions... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Thanks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Sorry for all these questions... :rolleye14 is a 76 Thanks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) My 914 is a 76.. earlier columns can be done the same way.. I have a mold for a resin piece and one screw holds it in place. Epoxied in a filler piece. |
