Default Steering Column Guy

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum but not new to Vettes, I have loved them for years and have worked on plenty of them for customers in the past. I started rebuilding steering columns back in late 96, and have been building them ever since, telescopic columns were my biggest challenge back then but now I look forward to fixing them , I have an extensive clientele, and love what I do.

I can offer free advice so just send me a message if you need anything! I am also working on a prototype for a C1 power steering column

Are you able to rebush worn tilt housings? New parts don't seem to be available...I was wondering about that as I had to improvise a little when I rebuilt my column a few months back.

I am in the process of drilling out and using oversize pins to fix the common problem of the "springy tilt" (thats what I call it) because I get calls about this alot
