65lwb, you think this box is fixable then...
Basically, the clam shell style mount needs to be tightened, correct? I had tried tightening the two bolts, but, they are torqued down very tightly already.
Maybe trying to remove some metal would be my next step. I'm assuming a machine shop could get the curvature somewhat perfect.
Yes, the crack is on the steering shaft cover.
Looking again, the missing bolt does not appear to be a mount of anything. The missing nut just tightens the collar around the steering shaft.
As for the rounded thing sitting on top, what is that?  |
The rounded thing on top is part of the three speed on the column shifting mechanism.
You should be able to just take off enough metal with a cut-off wheel on an angle grinder? Doesn't have to be machined perfectly...
Another idea would be to use some kind of thin shim material like a piece of cut up beer can or maybe a piece of copper sheet or , well you get the idea...
Put the nut back on the steering column, it is what attaches the column to the box!
