As I was leaving work tonight my mate, who was on his way in for the night shift, asked if he could borrow my steering column bracket so that he could do a fit up of his modified column from Alien (his bracket is elsewhere at the moment). He’s modifying his EK sedan for a 327 Chev.
“No worries” I replied, “I’ll rip it out of the car when I get home tonight. It shouldn’t take long, I think it’s just a couple of nuts or bolts”
Well, FFS!!! What a pain in the butt that was! After doing Harry Houdini under the dash, and using a ratchet spanner on the right nut and ratchet socket on the left, I finally got it off after about 20 minutes.
I reckon when I put it back, I’ll be ripping a few bits off, like the handbrake bracket, etc. to make it easier, and keep me from throwing spanners and ratchet handles around the place. I’m expecting to be bombarded by all the swear words I left up there under the dash as well.
I jury rigged a column holder upperer to keep it in place
and found that the rubber insulator was the three piece model
On the bright side I guess, apart from helping someone out, I’ll have a new insulator when it goes back in
Cheers,
John

You could cut it at the top if you don’t want to remove the “honey pot” or control lever support, or use some sheet rubber cut to size.You could cut it at the top if you don’t want to remove the “honey pot” or control lever support, or use some sheet rubber cut to size.
