Re: Adding a tilt
Mr79: Ign lock cyl and ign switch are two different parts. Changing the switch is no problem, especially with the colunm out, unless you drop the high beam rod out of the pocket it rides in under the signal light switch. Changing the lock cyl is an entirely different critter. You do need special tools (lock plate compressor and wheel puller) This isn't something a novice should attempt. On colunms like this (round colunms, not the square ones) there are 4 reverse head torqs screws at the bottom that often loosen up and you may not find out they are loose until you have swaped out the colunms due to spring pressure within the tilt mechanism holding it tight until you give it a real good pull. If this is the case try to find someone locally to fix it properly. If you can't find anyone in FL to do it for you, ship it up here and I'll fix it for you and ship it back with a new lock and keys. I have over the years accumulated enough parts to build a whole colunm from scratch. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
