Orin did you try that brass bushing yet ?? Will you have to get the tapered shaft on the column built up to accept the bushing ??

Cranman:
Talked to Ted the other day and he says the bearing is a Torrington needle carriage bearing but he didn't know the number. There are still suppliers out there if you can get a good measurement.
the old trucker:
How is it measured ?? It looks like a short piece of schedule 80 pipe with about a 1.25" inside diameter. I have to cut & replace the piece just above it where the gear sticks out through. At the bottom of that short pipe there appears to be some sort of thick insulating material. I think it's for the horn wire.
Inside my steering column there's a 1/2" pipe that the steering wheel & the gear is made onto with a brass rod going through the center that had the horn wire soldered to.
the old trucker:
Orin I think you will find the bearings that the boys are talking about on the site below.
