Clyde,
I lost you on the NSS, I know as soon as you tell me what it stands for it's going to be a Duh moment on my part.

As for the way GM did the steering column on a 67 - since they moved the parking brake to a foot pedal type, the way the steering column was secured - they basically used a big 2 bolt U clamp with a centering pin on the dash and a hole on the column.

So is what I did, I drilled a 3/8" hole in the bottom lip of the dash took a 3/8 -24 bolt and a thin jamb nut and tightened it down. I drilled a 5/8" hole in the my rubber shim to clear the jamb nut. I had to add a rubber shim so my column wouldn't rub on the dash. I used a strip of rubber gasket material from my work. I drilled a 3/8" hole centered in the column tube and then used the factory E brake bracket to hold everything in place. That way I didn't have to worry about the 4 threaded mounting points used originally.

If you look at the second picture you can see my 3/8" bolt sticking down and my center line drawn on the column tube & my centering hole. The third picture shows the factory bracket and my sloppy cut rubber spacer (glad no one can see it) and no mounting bolts in the factory mounting bracket. How did discover all this? I was looking for a suspended gas pedal to to mount in my truck and saw how they did it in 67. Unfortunately for me the suspended throttle pedal assembly was already gone.

Hope this helps.
