Guys; Two different column lockbolt designs!
The switch pin should removed from the earlier model columns
where the pin is staked into the lock bolt (this early designs moving the
the thumb pad rotates the bolt thus the switch pin moves the swiitch
contact).This design the switch pin must be pulled to move the bolt.
About 37 ? the design changed to a nonrotating lockbolt .
The switch pin on these is part of the floating toggle ring assembly
with the thumbpad spline out the top and switch pin on bottom to
the switch contact .Do not take this factory 3 part switch ring
assemby apart. It lifts out of the column drop window (whole) when
the lockbolt is pushed into the drop mast tube space.
Hope this helps .Pictures are someplace.
Please don't take those floating ring assemblys apart.
Not needed
Good old FORD fun!!
