 Hi all,
First of all happy Thanksgiving to everyone on this side of the pond!
One to my question(s).
Over this last driving season, my steering column has developed a squeak ev=
ery time I move it. Years ago during the restoration I had installed a set =
of The Roadster Factory nylon bushings in the column and I am pretty sure t=
he squeak is coming from the top bushing on the column. Is white lithium gr=
ease OK on nylon my best route or is there a better lubricant?
Second question:
I have a Tourist Trophy steering wheel and horn push. Has anyone else with =
this setup had problems with the actual horn button popping off into your c=
hest? If so, what is the fix?
Thanks,
Dave Connitt
