    1965 GT upper Steering Column Bearing Retainer

    New member but long time viewer.  I need some help! My 65 GT is missing the bearing retainer that mounts of top of the Turn Signal Switch and is secured by the same three phillips head screws that mount the Switch; the three screws are also missing.  I have been unable to find any vendor that sells this retainer.  Does anyone know of a source for this Part?  Page 3-25 of the 1966 Shop Manual (figure 6) indentifies it as part 3B610.  I also need to know the size of the three phillips head screws.  A size 8-32 seems to be about the correct diameter but the threads don't seem to match.  Thanks!

    I have one.  I just pulled it for you from an old steering column, including the correct screws.  It is yours for $5.15 it will cost me to send it to you.  Never mind the ankle that is now swollen on the inside bone where the crow bar fell on it while I was trying to dig out the steering column, and never mind the cut pinky that is bleeding all over my keyboard that resulted for me hitting the bicycle seat clamp bolt while trying to evade the crow bar!  If I was more organized, that would never have happened!  Anyway, that should be good for TWO GARAGE POINTS for MustangSteve.  1 for the screws and one for the part.


     

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
