I did something a little different on my ’64 with respect to the coupling. I hate that copper strip for the ground path, and I also hate the cotter pin or roll pin (I have seen both). I worked up using a shoulder bolt with special washers and jumper wire. Worked out great. You can see it in the archives as I posted photos. I got everything I needed from McMaster-Carr.

Hello, It has been at least a quarter century since I have replaced a Steering Gear. But when an engine is out, what better time? Fortunately we have Bob Merritt’s “how to” video for reference; thank you Bob! I am close to being done, but have some questions. Status: - The Steering Gear is loosely bolted to the frame - The Inner Shaft in place, with a new lower u-shaped rubber insulator & a new copper strip for the horn ground that I made - The Outer Column Jacket Tube is sort of in place, as I have it pushed through the new firewall column seal And now for my questions... - The Jacket Tube: How far down does it go? - The Jacket Tube: Does it go until it actually meets the Steering Gear? - The Jacket Tube Clamp: Best method to pry it apart enough to slide over the wide end of the Jacket Tube? - The Jacket Tube Clamp: Once on the end of the Tube, what is it actually clamping? - The Jacket Tube Clamp: As I tighten its bolt, it cinches together. Keep tightening until there is at least 1/16” of space left where? I don’t understand what or where the 1/16” measurement is referencing. - The top half of the Jacket Tube: Any helpful hints on how to pull UP the Inner Shaft in order to install the Washer & Snap Ring? I saw what Bob did with a block of wood & some channel lock pliers. Just wondered if there were other thoughts.
I may have the help of another soul for this step, though maybe it is just a 1-person job. Thank you all!
