Steering Beering, Bushing, Circlip

[davemccorkle]

I just removed my steering wheel and noticed that my beering is shot! The only thing left is the outer raceway. I ordered the beering, bishing and Mitch's beering jus tin case i do not want to remove the whole thing. What I noticed is that there does not seem to be a "circlip" or the star clip at all! Do you know what the part numbers are for these or if I need them? I would imagine i must have the "circlip" to hold Mitch's buching in place I just do not know what size it is or how to get it.

Thanks!

Sorry, but what year is your car?

[davemccorkle]

72, part of it is! lol

[E Sully]

'72 is different than later cars. Make sure you order the correct one from Mitch, he just recently started selling one for older cars.

[UrQuattro]

Yup, that's what I was gonna say. I had just noticed that your steering shaft is so different from mine that I figured it must be an early car.

Glad you guys know what you are doing! Does our sponser sale that model form Mitch as well?

[davemccorkle]

OK I Think I got everything I need. New Spring, Washer, and split bearing! Looks simple to install as well.

Thanks again!

Well, I went BEERING Saturday nite... slept in Sunday.

Not familiar with those bearings... or bushings.

Sorry.. couldn't resist.

As a reminder you'll get the split ring bushing and a flat washer, but you don't get the spring which Pelican has. The spring is very cheap and can be ordered with the bushing.

[davemccorkle]

Mine is on it's way already! cannot wait to see how it works! What other stuff do you make Mitch?

[Mitch Leland]

Dave,

I just make the steering bushing for both the early and late cars. I only did it since I needed one for my car. We've fooled around with some other ideas, but due to cost or volume nothing has worked out.

If it wasn't for Pelican Parts I couldn't make this work, they're great to work with so kudos to PP for supporting our cars...

[davemccorkle]

Ditto! PP is awesome!
