: :I just rebuilt my '28 sports coupe steering column and replaced the light switch rod. The old one was actually too short and the lower gasket was missing. Now I can't get the spring, gasket, switch activator and light switch keeper on the light switch rod. Everthing else seems to be in the right configuration and position.HELP!
I just did mine too, and had similar trouble.The replacement lower seal is a rubber grommet, which seems to work great, but is a lot thicker than the leather washer that was there originally.I had to tighten the seal packing nut pretty tight to have room to get the actuator on the light rod.The steering was a bit tight until the seal got worn in a bit.
