64 1/2, 289 HP, Coupe, red. 

I put in power steering  a year or so back. All was OK until my turn signal cancel stopped working about a month ago. Thought I’d tackle that this weekend. Removed the steering wheel expecting to see a broken plastic part but all looked well. Searched the site and examined the gap between the wheel housing and the column. It has grown. When I finished with the power steering install I notices about a 1/8” gap and thought that was a bit large, larger than what I had. Now it was larger. I attempted to simply loosen the column and move it up towards the steering wheel, not good. Now I can drive my car through the gap. 

I did notice that when replacing the steering wheel there were bolts missing that at one time appeared to be there and that sent up a red flag but I could not find them on any parts list. They are located at  12 and 6 o’clock. It did drive and all worked well for several years. 

So, I’m assume these bolts and nuts did have a needed purpose that may have caused this crash and burn but am not sure how to fix it. I did take everything apart to see where these  bolt may have gone originally but did not see anything. So if this is the case I would appreciate size and length, position and pictures so I can get my turn signals to cancel and my horn to blow. Hopefully the pics uploaded. Thanks! Randy from Florida. I'm getting better at the new look.
