CarlM Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I posted about replacing steering column bush, but couldn’t shift the steering wheel nut. Anyway managed this bush change by removing the inner and outer column together from car today🙂, so I’m pleased with handy work. I have a bit left over! And wondered if anyone knew where it lived on the 1360 column. Exploded diagrams in Haynes an WSM, don’t help. thanks Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 its the slip clip that fits in the lower facia mount allows the column to collapse pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham C Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Without questioning Uncle Pete, is it a felt packer as you have not mentioned what it is made off, if So then fits in the clamp to the dashboard. If Uncle Pete is correct I will write a hundred lines - "Never doubt Uncle Pete, he is always correct!!!" 😂😁😀 Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlM Posted September 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Material of construction is metal. I’ll fit it to lower part of the dashboard clamp with confidence now, regards Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffds1360 Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 That rings a bell with me Kevin. Slips over the TOP bracket, helps compress the two bolts which cam strip out the 'U' cover if overtightened. Then again I have been in a hospital bed the last 10 days and have brain fade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 If fits in one direction only into the top clamp, so after a loose assembly you can slide it properly into place then hold it there as you tighten the nuts. Sadly it takes paint off your newly painted column tube... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
