[Spits] 75 spit steering

[Doug Braun]

The inner shaft of the steering column (the part that actually turns) is
telescoping, and in the middle there is a clamp that holds the two pieces
together.  If that is loose, there will be some slop in the steering wheel,
because there will be some play between the two pieces.

Do you have a repair manual for the Spitfire?  If not, the Haynes manual is
pretty good (but not so good for
the anti-pollution stuff on the later year cars.)
