I believe a board member can rebuild it and he also has an exchange service, I'll try to find his name.

Re: where can i send my steering column to be rebuilt?
If it's just sloppy all it needs is the 4 torque screws with locktite tightned. An hrs work after removal.
Do it yourself.

I believe if you search the FAQ's you might find rebuild instructions. If I find it before you I will post a link.

Contact KevsClassic. He offers a new/rebuilt tilt for around $450 or he can rebuild yours for like $250-$275 I believe. Click on the link below for more info.

If you don't want to rebuild it, I've got a nice non-tilt 71 column for $70. You can check my thread here:

Re: where can i send my steering column to be rebuilt?
search the FAQ pages.. there are instructions and exploded views. The outer collar pulls off with some light tapping... the tilt mech needs the pivot pins pulled on the sides. You can use a socket, a washer and a machine screw that will screw into the center of them...
Save these pics...
