Re: steering column coupling

["Don H." <mopar4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This clamp does not work on early couplers.  How do I know?  A friend of 
mine in MI (Mike Randall) found a TSB a few years back that described these 
spring clamps for repair of the steering column couplers for 67 and up.  He 
did a parts search and found a dealer in Hawaii had 2 of them - a  long and 
short version.  He said the dealer had no idea of what they were used for! 
Anyway he bought them and had them reproduced.  He's been selling them as 
well as coupler repair kits at the Nationals (space N6), other swap meets 
and via his website.  The long fits 67thru 71 IIRC and the short fits 70 and 
up.  70 and 71 one must know whether they have the long or short coupler. 
Since I go to the Nats every year and have space N7, I have a first hand 
opportunity to observe and listen and occasionally sell some while he's 
bathroom breaking or whatever.  These clamps (including the one on ebay), 
definitely do not fit our year cars.  The coupler must have the roll pin for 
the spring to work.  Sorry I don't have his web site handy as it's on the 
other computer with no internet hookup.
