RE: [Chrysler300] 64 tilt wheel

["'Rich Barber' c300@xxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I am out there.  Bob and I have communicated extensively on this. 

 

Even after relocating the switch base on our ‘64K column to accommodate the new and longer cable, Operation is a little iffy.  Finding that sweet spot to keep the sheath in tension is challenging.  Life under the dash is less interesting every day. 

 

I see that Bob found his problem to be a broken sheath at the upper end.  I believe that tilt column continued for several years—maybe even into the ‘70’s Chrysler so a reproduction or modification of an existing GM reproduction would seem to be a viable project—along with great instructions on how to replace and adjust.

 

Just sayin’

RE:  GM supplied tilt-wheel for 1964 Mopars.  Indeed, Rich Barber and myself wrestled both intellectually and physically with that weird setup.  I even hand made a pulling device to free some part of the upper structure in order to reach the insides.  The turn signals bulbs are switched via a boudin cable that has been reproduced by some GM.  Rich, are you out there on this? Did you ever get it to work?

I am interested to hear from anyone that has

worked on the tilt steering wheel that came out in 1964.

 

You know.......stuff such as 

 

Did you have turn signal problems?

Did you disassemble the steering column head?

How did you fix it?

 

Given the lack of information in the service manuals on this,

I'm assembling as much as I can to make up

a fix&repair guide.

 

Thanks

Hiho
