i still have the old cup that the bushing sits in,ill take that to my local engineering place and get them to turn one up,i also bought a solid rod off nylon to get them to turn the bushing up to.Ill buy some measuring calipers to measure the shaft.I have a voucher for autobarn from chrissie and i couldnt figure out what to buy so ill get them to measure the shaft.
ive decided that im going to get the steering column bush and bush cup made at my local engineering place.Can anyone tell me the exact diamater of the steering column shaft?I measured it with a ruler and it looks to be around the 18mm mark.I looked in wiki and i cant find it anywhere,any help would be great.
does anyone know where i can get the screw in steering column bushing?I have looked at all my usual places and they are either sold out or not available anymore.I really need to locate one or maybe i can use the rubber bushing sold on ebay for the non collapsible column but in the add it says not suitable for the collapsible type column.What are my options?
This is the one i need.The second one is an option(maybe)
I have a brand new Datsun 1200 non collapsible (early year model)steering column/box for sale.This will only be able to legally put in your datto if it came from the factory with the NON collapsible type column.Asking $750. Also advertised on ebay and gumtree.
