Steering Column Bracket

[Dennisfly]

I bought a piece of Aluminum 3/8 X 1 X 8 on Ebay. I used a grinder and file to shape the top to the contour of the tank/panel where it would be attached. I carefully measured and drilled four holes to accommodate 1/4 inch machine screws. Two to attach this piece with screws going up into the panel and two to attach the bracket with screws going down. The holes were countersunk and flat head screws used. I'll see if I can take a picture or two. The link in post #6 actually has great pictures and description by Tom Endy. The only difference with mine is the use of the Fastenal U nuts due to the restricted access.


Last picture shows old mount with column placed so it doesn't touch the tank area.
