Rattiac, love your steering wheel. Looks like early Camaro/ Corvette.

Look inside the shift boss, you should see a little hole the spring sets in. Put some heavy grease on the spring to hold it there, shove shifter in and pin it. Pending spring stiffness, may have to hold in hard. Could go to one side with a punch to align the hole while you insert the pin.

Column is mounted. Just need to figure out how the shifter goes in.
No instructions.  Has a spring and pin.

Everything is all mocked up.  Measurements from the dash to the steering wheel all line up. 
The brake pedal comes to the end of the column.  If I flip the bracket it'll clear.  Looking at a cable kit.  I think I could rotate this anywhere I wanted right ?
Boy that steering wheel is making the rest of the interior look bad.

Thanks Essex.  Hope ya have your shots up to date.  😉💉

Today I was able to get the dash mount out.  One bolt broke and the other had to get cut.
Looking at the mount itself,  I'm starting to wonder if I can weld to it.
???
It's magnetic and taking a grinder to it,  looks like steel.

EDIT )))
I took it over to a professional welder by my work.  He said it is cast steel and mig welding to it is no problem.  He welded the 2 halves together.  I'll do the bracket.

Oh wow, at 14! Good thing we didn't get that here, I was dangerous to myself and
others, still at 18. I've been a professional driver, trucks and since 1995 buses, so
I think I'm not too bad that way anymore.

20 or so years ago, I started a list of what is all the cars I have owned and have added
to it when buying cars, so I'm confident that I know exactly how many I have had.
Also sometimes people ask: How many American cars have you owned? So I counted
those in an own cathegory.

HAVE A FIX ? (For anything) / Re: S&W Model 617 (22 rimfire) fail to fire fix
« Last post by sixball on March 26, 2024, 12:39:26 PM »
Nice work. I'm surprised S&W isn't fixing this. That is a great revolver I wish I had one. It is cool ti be able to fix your own stuff.

I've been putting some of my tools back in service. I put a 3 axis DRO on my little mill and fixed a broken table on the big belt/disc sander. Now I'm in the middle of replacing some broken gears on my lathe. I have to make one of them. They were broken when I got it but I just didn't use the power feed. I'm also doing a major cleaning while it is apart and replacing some bearings. It is all part of the shop cleanup. Parts in place take up less space than parts piled around in the way. It will be so nice to have it all working so I can get on with the roadster again. I also found the roughing reamer I needed for 219 Donaldson Wasp. Now I have to find a new barrel with the right twist, I haven't decided what yet. I like it and making rounds for it satisfies some of my mechanical needs. I i's pretty bad ass for a little guy.
