Hello, this is my first set of questions since joining so here goes.

I am wanting to put in a tilt column, which i have now. the problem is that the column i have has the shear pins sheared and is missing the rag joint and vacuum motor/relay. Anyway!
First question: What is the difference in the shafts of tilt and non-tilt columns?

2nd is: Can i use the non-tilt rag joint on a tilt column?
:1zhelp: please

Glad to see you finally signed up, welcome aboard more midwesterners are great. I cant help with your question but I'm sure someone can. mm

Im not sure either, but welcome aboard. If you frequent ebay, this guy usually has alot of tilt stuff up for auction. Do a seller search for hurley5 or check out the suppliers that list here. Ive bought a few things off ebay from hurley5 and is very good his shipping and returns if anything is broken on shipping.

Here's a link on his auctions

I don't know the answers to your questions , but there is a rag joint for sale on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1832343188 - perhaps the seller has the other parts you need as well.

Thanks, I saw that item myself. It is the correct joint, right? I haven't seen a non-tilt rag joint to know.

I honestly can't say for sure. Perhaps the seller will guarantee it for a tilt? Can't hurt to ask. I will check my shop manual and Interchange book when I get home tonight - maybe one of those will tell if they are different, perhaps even get a P/N! :eek2:

SHEAR PINS

Does anyone know where I can get the shear pins for the steering shaft? Or what they are made out of so I could make them? Thanks
