[TR] Locking Steering column

[Foster, Stan (HP IT)]

There is only a short section of the inner column that has the opportunity to
engage with the pin in the column lock.  Generally if the inner column is
inserted the correct amount the lock will engage at some point as you rotate
the steering wheel. If the inner column is too far forward or back the pin may
not be going into the slot in the column. When I assemble the steering column
I do it with the steering lock active so that I can be sure I have it all
aligned before I start bolting it up.

I  am in the process of reassembly of the dash, that I replaced.

I had taken apart the steering column to check for wear.

I am having difficulty returning the steering column so it will lock when the
key is out (76 TR6)

I have tried adjusting the thing several ways but still cannot get it.

It locked before disassembly.

Does anyone have any ideas how to set this up  without getting really
frustrated again?
