Large casting above steering column
The large casting right above the steering column mount has some rust on it and I hate to cover it up with the interior install, can someone tell me how hard it is to get out one the steering column is out?
I can't even see all the screws, doesn't look to easy?

With the steering column removed, it isn't difficult to remove. It has 2 bolts at the top that are bolted into the lower birdcage.

Hi Kevin,
Once the steering column is out getting the cast 'bracket' out isn't too bad.
It's held in place with 2 bolts. The bolts tighten into 2 nuts that are welded to the bottom of the windshield frame.
BUT, before you can remove those 2 bolts you need to remove the steering column 'support' that mounts to the 'bracket' with 4 bolts.
I'm not sure how much of this can be done with the brake/clutch pedal in place though. I THINK they need to be out to remove the 'support' and then the 'bracket'.
So ?
Regards,
Alan
