Thanks, I get a lot of engine heat from it not sealing enough, I tried to use rubber glue on the deteriorated torn seal , but it failed.

I thought that QQD can do it if you send them your old one for the steel frame. I took mine and used a lot of both tube and spray liquid rubber and rebuilt mine.

That said, one can get air seepage around the column even when they were new. I know someone who took the metal ring, removed all the rubber, and then had a leather boot made for it with a lace up for the last two inches at the column. They then used some closed cell foam to make a ring around the column and then laced it tight. Seal very well.

I may do the same at some time on mine as even after re-working mine, I am still getting some air.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} 1964 300 steering column dust shield

My research has not come up with finding the interior rubber dust shield that is at the base of the steering column at the floor, has anyone found a source?

Thanks
