The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Steering column / horn rod mis-match

I don't know if they are still available but I purchased a new 43" shaft with worm from Snyder's to do mine and I also purchased a new aluminum top bushing in the 1929 style for 2-tooth units. I found an early control quadrant on flea-pay so I had to align everything and drill the jacket to the bushing then tap the screw threads in there for the two special flush head screws that hold it together. Some of the 30/31 types used screws but the later ones didn't use screws. I think my column was a mid 30 model to start with so it was easy to modify to fit a 29 car.
