OK I have lost 2 bolts and 2 machine screws. It is really weird, I have the nuts for the bolts but no bolts. In my defense I have 3 cars in pieces right now and they must have gottem into the wrong bags. Or else one of the cats got them.

Anyway. Car is a 65 Mustang 289 with manual steering. The bolts are the 2 bolts that are in the steering collar that holds the turn signal switch. I believe they are T bolts and they have slightly domed nuts. I have the nuts. Actually in looking at the assembly I cannot figure out what the bolts hold. It looks to me as if they just go through the collar with no purpose.

The 2 machine screws are the ones that hold the 2 steering column collars together. The collar that holds the turn signal switch and the cone shaped trim collar.

If I can get the specs I can get something from McMaster Carr.

Thanks
Dennis
