Need Plastic Parts for a tilt steering column
 

Anybody know a place that sells the plastic collar for a tilt steering column. Ford P/N D5AZ-3511-B.
It's described as the upper Flange in the Ford repair manual page 13-06-10. It's the part that surronds the column where the tilt lever goes in to the column.

New or Used is O.K.

Dennis Carpenter, LMC, Mac's doesn't have it

I don't have a catalog handy, but check NPD (National parts depot) or LMC they should have the parts for you. They do have websites also.

Already did that, they don't have one. Thanks anyway

For your old truck, john? Or for a newer one?

For my 79 Ford

did you find the parts you need yet? somebody should be repopping those by now:confused:.

D5AZ-3511-B .. Flange-Use w/Tilt Wheel / OBSOLETE :mad:

But it does fit other models...

Fits:

1975/79 Econoline / 1978/79 F100/350 / 1978/79 Bronco / 1975/78 LTD & Mercury Marquis / 1975/79 Lincoln Town Car

1975/79 Thunderbird / 1975/79 Mark IV & V / 1975/76 Torino/Mercury Montego / 1975/79 Cougar

1977/79 LTD II (1979: NOT an LTD - LTD II's have stacked dual quad headlights).

1975/76 Mustang II / 1976/80 Granada/Monarch / 1977/80 Lincoln Versailles

No Ford obsolete parts seller I searched has one (including Green Sales), no Ford dealer has one either.

EDIT: Try FTE sponsor BRONCO GRAVEYARD.

Bronco's, F100/350's: 1978/79 only = 1980 and later is different.

Econoline: 1975/79 only, 1980 and later is different.

Plastic Part
 

Dennis, says he may have one. I also need the lower bearing and housing assembly. Fits into the end of the column. Bronco Graveyard shows one in there cataloge, but in reality that have a fabercated one I've seen on eBay. I want the original. What I want to do is replace both bearings before I put the column in my truck.

I'll take a look-see...then look at the usual suspects...er obsolete parts sellers, give me 20 minutes or so.

Watch this post...more info being added...

Round COVER = D8TZ-3D505-A upper bearing goes here / This comes next = round FLANGE D5AZ-3511-B

Lower bearing goes to D4AZ-3D651-A = tilt wheel LOWER flange. Is this what U mean by the lower housing??

Bearings: C7SZ-3517-C .. Upper / E1FZ-3517-B .. Lower = replaces C7SZ-3517-D.

EDIT:BOTH BEARINGS ARE STILL AVAILABLE....sorry for shouting, this new system sucks, cuz you can't add color or bold type when editing, and with me, editing is a way of life!

I'll see what's available = these numbers are typed from a 20 yr old parts catalog, so now I have to verify whether these numbers are still viable, or have been replaced.

Will type what I find in another post.

Lower bearing assembly P/N D8TZ-30681-A
flange P/N D8TZ-3D505-A

Ask Dennis to post this illustration: Section 35 / Page 31

It'll make life one heck of a lot easier when you can see the setup. 1978/79 tilt column illustration. / Dennis has the catalog on a CD, I'm using microfiche, I can't scan that! :-(

D4AZ3D651A .. Lower Flange, Use with Tilt Wheel -Obsolete- I haven't looked around for this yet...

C7SZ3517C .. Upper Bearing / MSRP: $39.98 / ftepartsguy.com: $28.79

E1FZ3517B .. Lower Bearing / MSRP: $10.37 / ftepartguy.com price: $7.78

(when typing part numbers into websites, the hyphens/spaces have to be removed, otherwise you'll get: No parts found.

Are you looking for 3D505, also??

Upper bearing & lower bearing are the same part, correct #3517. Why the difference in price?

I cannot say, that's Ford's doing.

3517 is just the basic number, when the prefix and suffix are added, that makes a complete part number.

The lower bearing: C3DZ3517A & retainer: B1AZ3518A

Those 2 bearings I typed earlier (C7SZ3517C & E1FZ3517B) are both considered upper bearings.

Thanks for jumpin in here bill. I tottaly forgot about you!

William, how could you?
