Steering column assembly help

[tanklyn]

have a 1970 Jeep that I took apart in 95 and I'm now trying to put back together I have my factory shop manual and my factory parts manual and I'm still having issues I have spare parts as well as the original parts all stored together I have a part I don't know where it goes or what it does but it does fit the column but then the spring does not fit my question is can anyone identify that part it's the aluminum one also does anyone at have any pictures they could post of how the column looks when it's assembled I'm at this point I'd even pay somebody to take one apart and take pictures as they did it I hope you guys can help

The board does that sometime. It will just hang there forever. But the post will have made it in so you don't need to resubmit. Just open a new window and navigate over to where you were posting and you'll see it there. Then you can stop the other window that is just sitting there spinning.

As far as you steering column question, I can't help on that one. I've never had one of the old columns apart.

Not sure this helps, but.... this is a picture of a Miata steering column on a different build. Maybe it can provide some inspiration... Your part looks like it might be a support where 2 parts come together?

Look for gm steering column assembly instructions on line. You can find them free of buy them. I can't remember where that goes and my column is about the only thing not needing repair.

That aluminum piece fits into the bottom of the column tube where the shift linkage is
