Anybody rebuild a tilt/tele steering column???
Another obscure question....
I just got a tilt/tele steering column and I'm in the process of tearing it down to restore & detail it before I put it in my car. Its "weathered" but intact and working.
Aside from cosmetics & a bad lower bearing, the only other issue is that its missing the hazard light ****/link. I know the hazard lights work off the turn signal switch but mine is apparently missing the link between the **** and the turn signal switch because there is nowhere to attach the **** to.
If I buy a new turn signal switch, does anyone know if it will have the piece I'm missing attached?

The new turn signal switch should have a black plastic pad with a tapped hole. When you install the switch into the T&T housing it will be right at the hazard warning hole.
The only place that I have found that has the 1969-1976 T&T switch is Dr. Rebuild. Zip Products latest catalogue says to call. You might also try http://www.columnsgalore.com
Do you have my instructions on disassembling the T&T column. Go to: http://www.corvettefaq.com, look under Suspension and Steering, there are instructions, a column blow-up, and three pages of illustrations.

Thanks Jim. Thats what I thought on the hazard lights although I was hoping not to have to replace the entire switch. I used your corvettefaq.com instructions to disassemble the column. Its an excellent resource and I really appreciate your contributions. Thanks again!

I also looked in several of my Corvette catalogues for the hazard ****.
RIK'S has one listed: STE191 67late-68-71 w/T&T Flasher **** $17.95
Also Eckler's 38679 69-71 ****, Traffic Hazard Flasher w/TT $23.99

check for V8Yunkie on the forum (archived topics) or via @ at v8yunkie@aol.com
He did the teardown and a pretty nice documentation on this!
I think he will be glad to send you the file or route you to his homepages
Hope this helps
