Team.
Many thanks for all your prompt and detailed responses. It has been
suggested that the escutcheon for an adjustable steering/column uses a
backing plate with a larger hole to allow the retaining legs to pass
through the hole and bend outward.
On checking various parts listings from the big name suppliers however
only one backing plate is ever listed. Even the AH original parts
list only offers one example - part no. AHB5406. Perhaps Rick has a
one-off special.
RichC has provided a response (below) complete with photo that I shall
use to update the forum for others that may pass this way in the
future.
Thanks again.
