I searched forever and finally found all the parts needed to replace the connection from the column to the steering box.. Bearings (they call them), clips etc, and most importantly and hardest to find... the rubber boot to cover the housing..All is NOS .

So.. once I got all these parts rounded up... I decided to use an aftermarket column in my car. I know.....

anyway, I have my entire manual column sandblasted and ready to paint, I also have all the parts to connect it to the gear box..

If anybody is looking for any of these parts, let me know... They are not easy to find...
