Confused Steering Column Issue
Is the part 3510 the welded flange ?
In this drawing part 3510 is causing too much stress
I am attempting to reassemble my column with several new parts & need to know if part 3510 is the flange that is spot welded in the column tube !!!!!!! I do not see how it can be, so if not what is it 
HELP, I WAS SO READY TO COMPLETE THIS & NOW I AM CONFUSED BECAUSE I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT PART IS ..................IF it is not the flange then WHAT IS IT !!!

The way I remember my '67 column, and the way I read the diagram, #3517 would be the welded bearing cup/flange, #380084-S is the bearing, and #3510 is a felt dust seal that you press into the bottom of the column (by hand), last thing before you put on the rag joint clamp.

I am 99.9% sure this is correct : 3518 is the bushing, 3517 the bearing, next piece is *380084 the bearing cap SEAL if needed, #3510 is a normal washer/seal. I vaguely remember some trucks had 2 different types of bearings and one type needed the felt cap seal/washer. I JUST THOUGHT *380084-S IS A BEARING SEAL/CAP WITH FELT IF NEEDED WITH CERTAIN BEANINGS.#3510 is STILL A SERIOUS MYSTERY FOR ME & EVIDENTLY FOR EVERYONE ELSE...
maybe i have it figured out.......????????? who knows..........haNOW I have a BIGGER PROBLEM !!! I THINK IN NEED THE #7C228 PART IN THE DRAWING. I THINK IT IS A SPRING WASHER?/REGULAR WASHER THAT GOES BETWEEN THE INNER SHIFT TUBE & THE SHIFTER HOUSING. I think that is what has caused the severe wear to the plastic portion of my shift tube !!!
anyone know about the PART # 7C228

That is what I thought !!! Do you know where to acquire one, or make one ??? I cannot find one for sale. What is a friction washer made of ?

7C228 is on wrong end for the wear to the plastic on the end of the inner shift tube I do have some sever wear in the shift collar that i almost posted a photo of last night but thought against it. Now i may tomorrow, I do not know how it could have happened. i will try to explain tomorrow.............
