It is not listed in the current HCS registry. I will add it and note the discrepancy. Thanks Marty

Should be only 2 holes for the bumpers. Possibly it is a reproduction or PO drilled holes to mount plate or frame from bottom.

That's a smoken deal.

The reproduction has a very rough grain on it. originals are like smooth leather. Here is a picture of the repop. http://dealeraccelerate-all.s3.amazonaws.com/fastlane/images/1/0/8/9/1089/38640_614d8c0741_low_res.jpg

There are no correct reproductions that I know of and I have never seen a NOS pad. I do find some restorable original from time to time. I do not currently have one though. Marty

Beautiful car and another Triple B Garage happy customer. I wish we closer, I have a couple that could use some of Dr. Rob's help. Marty

Rob if you can not find your I still have one. You need to go out to the shop and deep breath some combusted gasoline fumes, it all ways makes me feel better! Marty

I just learned things the hard way and would like to help other not make the same mistakes I did.

The 68 part numbers would start with C8ZZ. The 67 column has vacuum motor mounted on the column and has a solid release rod. The 68 and 69 column vacuum motors are mounted on a bracket that is attached to the dash and uses a cable to release the column. The difference between the 68 and 69 is...

I have done it several times a currently have 3 cars with tilt. I am sure we can help you through it. First you need to be sure you are buying a 68 system, 67s and 69s are different. Marty
