smooth shift collar

Post by 48prerunner »

Does anybody know if the shift collar off a 65-66 mustang would fit? I have some somewhere I'l have to look tomorrow has been a few years that I've played with the mustangs but seems like it looked the same and I found this link.

Not from an early Mustang but may work for your application;

Thanks I had looked at that one was really cool but could not get past the $80 price tag, they also make a painted version for like $64 so looked in the garage I remembered taking a 66 mustang column apart back in 1986 and my lucky day the collar was sitting right on the shelf. :woohoo:

Now i just have to figure out the screw size that bolts it to the upper part of the column with the turn signal lever.

the two screws sticking up in this pic I grabbed off of ebay.

So the mustang column collar and a dentside column collar are the same thing. Pretty sure the screw size a #6 measured it is 7/8" long from below the head to the end. They are sheet metal type screw not a machine screw. I took apart a dent side column to find out only difference between it and the ebay pic is the screws were black.
