Once the column is in place install
the upper and lower halves of the
dash mount loosely. (Figure 3)
Rack and pinion Installation:
Slide the gasket & floor mount
down the column tube with the
prongs of the floor mount facing
towards the engine compartment.
Align the floor mounts screw holes
with the original holes in the floor.
Align the gasket and install the 4
screws with the large washers.
Make sure the dash mount’s
alignment tab is engaged and
secure the mount with its two
fasteners. (Figure 3) Tighten the
two bolts that hold the column to
the dash. Now, from the engine
side install the clamp around the
column and the two tabs and tighten.

For the rack column, the lower interior
rubber trim piece (Figure 5A) will
have to be modified as there is no
way to slide the grommet into the
floor mount Figure 5B is the finished
trimmed part ready for installation.
Install the gasket loosely. Put a dab
of silicone or trim adhesive on the
inside where it meets the column to
secure it. You may want to put a piece of
tape around the grommet for 24 hours or
until it dries. Figure 6 shows the trimmed
part properly installed.
