Steering Column Rebuild

I used the bearing and 2 collars from the links I posted from fastenal. Cleaned up the shaft real good with 80 grit emery cloth. Used a collar on each side of the bearing. The bearing is 2" o.d. and had just a small amount of play since the i.d. of the tube is 2.05". I spread a small amount of black rtv inside of the tube where the bearing is going to ride then slid the bearing into place. The bearing has a nice fit on the shaft and the shaft spins very smooth and easy. Have to pardon the crudeness of my work and the crappy phone pics. Since I work out of town I have turned the hatch of my focus into a work bench to get stuff done while away from home. The bearing is sealed on both sides. It will probably out last the car.

Dartman, How much do you need for column connector?
