This is what the original has It is a plastic washer with a slit in it. You could use a rubber bung that has been modified I guess
Manual in my case is wrong. Do as you wish. There is nothing better than an actual photoThe manual shows and calls out a rubber bung.
I assume you meant foam Warren?I've used a cut piece of plastic from. Funny I have the plastic piece sitting on the table now.
Yeah use foam. Then at least the car will float when the ocean captures Florida š¤£I assume you meant foam Warren?
The Rootes Parts Manual Supplement for the Tiger does not list any rubber bung for keeping the inner column extension shaft (the adjuster) from sliding down the column. The photo Tony Butler posted matches what my Tiger had when I got it in 1970. It is the nylon clip which prevents that shaft from going down inside the upper column. I could be wrong, but believe part number 15 on the diagram is that nylon clip.The manual shows and calls out a rubber bung.
The rubber bung acts as a cushion when the steering shaft is retracted fully so it does not slam metal to metal and would give some kind of protection to the driver in case of an accident It does not stop the shaft from dropping down the steering tube, the plastic c clip does thatI have the manual in pdf from and am trying to attach. I hope it is readable. Anyway, I think what I am talking about is #11, the plug or in the manual, #5, it is called the rubber bung.
The whole shaft would drop into the steering tube ,without the plastic c clip on the shaft part number 3I am rebuilding my steering column and there does not seem to be a rubber bung in the shaft to keep the expanding adjuster from falling into the shaft. Does anyone know what this bung is or looks like. Could I use a rubber stopper?
