79 steering column part
1979 FORD F150 TILT STEERING COLUMN.
Does anyone have the piece that is cracked on my steering column? Or a possible place to get one?

Hard to find used/but usable part for sure. A steering column tilt wheel for a auto...hard to locate. Individual parts like you need, even harder.
I believe its a cast/pot metal, can you JB Weld fill the crack and sand down?
A lot of times the 3 little mount ears (on the inside) get broken off and that is a PITA to repair.
Nice 90's ish (?) leather wrapped/stitched steering wheel swap over.

That is a picture of someone else column. My part is plastic. Maybe Crazy Glue with an accelerator. Pretty much a round sleeve with a couple cut outs for the E flasher button and the blinker lever. Thanks guys.
