[Healeys] Steering Column Seals

[Michael MacLean]

I am at the point of installing the suspension and steering of my BN2 restoration.  Today I am trying to figure out the two plates and seals that go on the firewall to seal the steering column outer tube.  I have one plate with a through hole on the passenger side, but nothing on the firewall side.  Do both of these plates have a seal sandwiched beneath them, or just one?  The seals are not available from the usual suspects, so I surmise I have to make them.  What material should they be?  Just plain rubber?  I have no plate for the seal on the inside of he car.  The only vendors I can find that sell that plate are overseas.  Don't want to make an order for such a small part with the prohibitive shipping costs.  I don't have very much in the way of metal cutting tools to make my own.  Any ideas where to source this plate?Mike MacLean
