Hi David, I bought bearings from Tim Morin 3/4 years ago. He said it was his last set and that he had sold his stock to someone in Fla. His machine shop was in Fredericksburg, TX.
You're welcome to my used bearings, just let me know and I'll mail them in a padded envelope. Since you've already disassembled the column, you already know how it goes. The balls are available, the felt for battery posts work and fit around the cup and also hold the bearings in for installation. The races can be polished. Grease them good. I used engine assembly grease which I had. The pin which holds the steering shafts together needs to be real snug since it prevents the steering wheel from coming out the top altogether while driving. Randy says he micro welds the pin in to prevent failure. But, I can't weld that small and then how do you remove it if needed? I used some thread locker (it's not threaded) and my pin fits real tight. I don't think it's coming out. If you messed your pin up, Lowes has pins which could be cut for length. Sounds like you've got every thing under control if you can get another bearing or two. Let me know if you want my old bearings. Cliff
