Cliff and company,

I just finished tearing apart, cleaning repainting and 
rebushing my steering column.  Before I took it apart I had 
lots of play in the steering column and the horn sounding 
symptom.

The new bushes from Moss REALLY made a big difference.  The 
shaft is really secure and I can't get any wobble or play.  
Taking it all apart is no trival task but the fix does 
work.  

I also had play caused by the steering column mounting 
hardware and felt washers that were missing.... but this 
does not effect the horn.  I looking forward to a like-new 
steering setup in the spring.

BTW, If you would like some tips on how to get the old ones 
out and the new one installed..... send me an e-mail.
