Wiring
If your wiring is still intact, you
could use your original plug. You
would plug one wire at a time
(matching the original colors
on both sides) into the original
terminal. Unfortunately, most of
the original plugs we were working
with were cracked or damaged.
ididit has provided an extra set
of connectors and terminals with
this column. You will have to plug
each wire terminal into these plugs before installation. Remember that
these wires have to match the color on the adjoining side.
Rag joint installation
It is easier to install the rag-joint
onto the column before installing the
column. To install this joint, identify the
3/4DD end and remove the setscrews
and jam nuts. Slip the joint over the
shaft 7/8 of an inch and install the
setscrews into the threaded holes. This
should create a witness mark where
the set screws will hit. Now remove
the setscrews and the joint. With a
center punch, create a prick mark so
you can use a ¼ inch drill bit and create a relief for the setscrew. This
relief only needs to be approximately 3/16 inch deep.
Now install the rag-joint onto the column using locktite on the setscrews
and jam nuts.
