Behalf Of richard burgess Hi Folks, I am looking for a source for leather. I bought from SMS for my
'60 Crown and was only about 85% happy with the results, at least on the first
go around. They did better the second time. Anyway, I need a heavy
painted leather for my 1952 Pontiac Catalina and don't want to use SMS again,
they were also extremely expensive. The steering column in my Crown is about an inch too far into the
passenger compartment. The body has been off the frame but I don't think
the body is mislocated. The steering shaft rides in a bearing at the top
of the tube cover so I think the shaft and tube cover are in correct
relation. The wheel is bolted down correctly also. The tube looks
to be all the way down on the gearbox. Is there some adjustment at the
frame? If there is, it is not immediately obvious. The restoration
shop sent the car back with the wheel about 3/4" in front of the dash
housing. There is a flange on the wheel that should extend into that
housing and right now you can see about a 1/4" of the shaft. Any
suggestions? Richard Burgess 1960 Crown sedan 1960 LeBaron sedan 1952 __________________________________________________ |
