Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
Can any body give me a lead on someone who can repair this '35 Column Drop. It has two problems. Number one, I can't remove the lock cylinder even tho' I have drilled out the keeper pin. See picture. Number two, and more importantly the sleeve that the lock lever attaches to and fits around the locking pin is almost completely broken away. See picture. Any leads or suggestions would be appreciated. Jim in San Jose.

Re: Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
Early 35 column drop. first get the lock cylinder out. then remove the end cap. Push the lock bolt inward to remove the switch handle with the ON/OFF plate removed, then the lock bolt will come out. The early 35 switch handle is identical to the 32 and that is reproduced and sold on the fordbarn.com, the ON/OFF switch plate, all the screws spring and ball and special cap are all sold new. I believe the back of the switch handle is what your viewing as a worn shaft. See items 12 & 13 below.

Re: Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
It looks to me like it is part #13 that I need. Mine is in pieces. I might be able to make one out of a bushing of the right size. But, as of right now I can't even get it apart because I can't remove the lock cylinder. Jim

Re: Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
Thanks Terry--I did find it in the Green Book now--I will make one after figuring what the 3 bent tabs are supposed to do and exactly where to position them--

Re: Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
Are you sure that you have drilled the lock pin entirely out? If you have, it may be just dirt and rust holding the lock cylinder in place. Try penetrating oil and let soak. use the key to pull the lock out.

Re: Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
I wouldn't drill any more !
From what I can see he is deep enough. I would soak it in Evap O Rust for 3- 4 days for starters. Finesse is the plan here ....unless you want to buy a new cylinder.....

Re: Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
As mentioned above the switch lever part #13 is remade and sold here on the barn It is the same part as used on 32 Fords. VERY nice reproduction!

Re: Help need to repair a '35 Column Drop
Thanks to all for the help. I was able to get the lock cylinder out with a little acetone and ATF. Now it is all apart. Terry in OH, I did reply to Chad at [email protected]. Is he part of Mac's Auto Parts? Can you tell me anything more about seeing this switch lever for sale on the Barn. Thanks again, Jim

I do not believe Chad is associated with Mac's auto parts. Neal has supplied the ebay link above, take a look at the photos.
