Dear Richard,
Thanks for your helpfull answer! So you have taken
your column apart 3 times.., that makes you 3 times as brave
as Kenyon I guess LOL
And since you live in Atlanta the only addiction
that was needed was Coke (and I mean Coca Cola..) and not crack :)
You might well be right that something has slipped,
I know for sure that the previous owner had rebuild the brake booster some years
ago. Ofcourse I don't know what he has taken apart that time...
I will look under the master cylinder for that
clamp bolt (what a nice to reach area btw....)
And yes ,those two little screws (on my car there
are 2) are also quite a challenge to set, I will have a look under the sheet
metal cover (I guess you mean that large cover with 3 large Philps screws) : if
memory
servers me well there is also a clamp that holds
the outer jacket.
I will keep you updated about my progress
:)
All the best,
Rob

Dear Rob,
We only had to take mine apart three times before everything got settled
in right. It sounds like something has slipped. If you dive into
the engine compartment, under the brake booster, and master cylider, of
course, there is a bolt that holds a clamp that is holding the shaft
cover. That would be the first place to try, if memory serves... I
think I blocked it all from my mind. The problem with moving the hole is
you also have to make new holes for the attachment screws. I'm sure you
know that those are one or two (depending on the design) of the most difficult
screws to set on the whole car. I would begin by removing the sheet
metal covers under the steering wheel column to see if there is any other
evidence of things haveing moved before you begin.

Well,
that sound like a real challenge Kenyon !
Anyway, I don't think I
will try the crack method, I will stick to a couple
of Buds
:)
Maybe I should try my first plan, get my dremel out of the box,
put a new
diamond cutting wheel in it and make a new hole in the jacket
that DOES line
up with the cam.
You see, I can easily track down
that little @$##, it is about half an inch
below the original opening in
the steering column jacket..
If I unveal the secret I will document
it for sure :)
Thanks,
Robert

There's a black 1960 someplace in Europe with a
defunct
cancel cam that I sold 12 years ago.
I will never take a 1960 column
apart again unless I
decide to become addicted to crack and
consequently
forget about the last time I tried that.
Document
your secret if you figure it out or buy a
complete column from Lowell and
swap it
out.
