Steering Column Spacers Inserts Insulators

[Pawned]

I have been losing and finding these things for a bunch of years now. I see they are for sale anywhere , $17 on up up up.

I decided to try to make a set of them. Went to the Dollar store to find some plastic thick enough. The only thing I could find were these Dice. So lets give them a try.

I have not finished the fabrication, but you get the idea. Cost me $1 and my time.

I like the idea and it is inexpensive. Plus I have all the time in the world

Stupid question - why does the column jacket need to be isolated in the first place?

All about collisions, those are shear points.

A do not think they are shear points. They hold the steering wheel up and secure, It the wheel drops too low, the car comes out of park.

I thought they are cute

The bolts old the clips tight and allow the column to slide forward/collapse.
All part of the collapsing column system.

That makes sense.... Thanx

Well, this turned out to be a really dumb idea, it may have worked if I could find a single piece of plastic to use instead of epoxying together 2 pieces to make the correct size.
