29 steering column support
I saw on an earlier post the use of a modified 30-31 support on a 29 steering column. Any other ideas as to how to support the 29 column to keep it from cracking the solder on the lower support.

Re: Original Firestone gum tires
They are near Seattle, WA and I can take some pictures of them if you like.
I had them on my car up until a few years ago and they are not too badly cracked. I will check closer.

What do you use to seal either wire-on or hidem welting and do you use it both underneath it before you tack it on and then also in between it to seal it closed?
